Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is being praised for signing
the Table Mountain declaration which aims to boost press freedom and stop the
criminal prosecution of journalists in Liberia. Sirleaf deserves commendation, but It is important to note that the signing comes from the Executive
Mansion at a time when assaults and libels against the
press has been documented and on the rise. All the Fourth Estate has done these past years
even when dictatorships ruled Liberia has been an effort to report the news and bring sensitization to
the greater public as it fulfill their professional obligations.
