-Says her rights are being violatedA pro-democracy group, Patriotic Consciousness Association of Liberia (PACA) has called on the government and its British counterpart to release Madam Agnes Reeves-Taylor, who has been incarcerated for close to two years in England. Taylor was convicted on even counts to include aiding and abetting war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Sierra Leone, while Agnes was on the other hand prosecuted for crimes allegedly committed during the Liberian crisis. Baye noted that Agnes’ treatment is unfair as she is yet to be accused by any Liberian of wrong; neither charged by the Liberian government. But Mr. Baye said the UJL can only apply when a criminal case has been established—which is not the case here. Minister, the circle of hatred, vengeance, animosity and marginalization are counterproductive to the efforts at reconciliation and national healing in Liberia,” PACA said.
