Lawyers representing Frontpageafrica Editor Rodney Sieh
have secured his release for 30 days in the Liberian capital of Monrovia. The lawyers
contended that Sieh's imprisonment violated various provisions of the Liberian
constitution of 1986, including the prohibition against debt bondage in Article
12, the Equal Protection Clause of Article 11, the due process clause of
Article 20, and the directive against extreme punishment in Article 21. Kwame
Clement [Pro bono] a former Liberian journalist
and broadcaster in collaboration with Musa Dean and Samuel Kofi woods are
leading the charge to see Sieh release.
