During that meeting, He (Hassan) wanted me to go and testify against people that fought the war and say those people killed people, open people\u2019s stomach, and a whole lot of things, but I told him no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bility heads the Global Justice and Research Project, which partners with Civitas Maxima, a Swiss-based human rights nonprofit to help people claiming to be Liberian witnesses to formally complain alleged warlords to European and American justice authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Boley, leader of the Liberia Peace Council, was deported from the US in March 2012 for alleged human rights violations in Liberia\u2019s first civil war. Jabateh, a top commander for the United Liberation Movement for Democracy (Ulimo), is serving a 30-year sentence in the US after his conviction for criminal immigration fraud and perjury, while Kosiah, another top Ulimo commander challenged his 20-year conviction and sentence for war crimes in January before the Appeals Chambers of the Swiss Federal Criminal Court. In 2019, a UK Court dismissed torture charges against Taylor. Massaquoi, who like Kosiah, is being prosecuted under the legal principle of universal jurisdiction, (a principle that allows prosecutions of alleged perpetrators anywhere, because their alleged crimes were committed against all of humanity), is facing a challenge to his April 2022 acquittal by the Tampere District Court. The Court said prosecutors didn\u2019t prove beyond \u201ca reasonable doubt\u201d that the former Revolutionary United Front Commander had fled a \u201csafe house\u201d provided him by the then UN backed Special Court for Sierra Leone and came to Liberia to commit his crimes, including rape, murder, and torture.<\/p>\n<p>As he did when bribery allegations came up against him in the District Court, Bility dismissed the latest allegations by phone to Frontpage Africa\/New Narratives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no shortage of victims of witnesses in Liberia. Witness L-1 accusation is an insult to victims of the Liberian civil crisis,\u201d said Bility. Bility claimed \u201cGJRP\u2019s operational budget does not reach US $20,000 how then can promise to offer a single witness said amount to testify in a case?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But on cross examination, L-1 was inconsistent about when he was allegedly offered the bribe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis happened about 4 to 5 years ago when Hassan came from America&#8230;I think it is between there. I cannot remember the exact time,\u201d he said, as prosecutors grilled him about the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The witness had told the District Court in 2022 that the alleged offer was made to him at two separate meetings before the second phase of Kosiah\u2019s trial in May and June. The trial did end in March.<\/p>\n<p>Inconsistent witness testimonies are common in these appeal hearings, as they were with the trial in the District Court.<\/p>\n<p>L-1 repeatedly talked about his alleged relationship with Bility, despite the inconsistencies in his testimony.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed he knew Bility since 1991 and that they both lived in the Jamaica Road community in Monrovia. The witness claimed that Bility encouraged him to take up arm for Ulimo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said we should go and liberate the Muslims,\u201d L-1 said. \u201cAt that time, Hassan was the Secretary General for Ulimo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bility has always denied allegations of his involvement with Ulimo, which Liberia\u2019s Truth and Reconciliation Commission said committed the fifth most atrocities of all the warring fictions that participated in Liberia\u2019s two civil wars.<\/p>\n<p>The hearings continue on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
