“Everything those witnesses said are all false and lies intended to mislead the public,” Mr. Bility told the four-judge panel. They said Mr. Bility wanted them to testify that Mr. Massaquoi and Ms. Taylor committed human rights violations and promised to pay them US$15,000, to US$20,000 once they had testified. Mr. Bility has testified in this trial and at the Special Court for Sierra Leone that Mr. Massaquoi tortured him. “There were two persons in the room during an instance of my torture – Massaquoi and a lady – but my entire torture was directed by Mr. Massaquoi,” Mr. Bility told the court. “My people have ganged up against me and are going through other people to attack my reputation,” said Mr. Bility.
