Liberian journalists today are still facing the heavy hand of the law from
the Liberian government in an era when press freedom is a heavily touted word
in post war Liberia. The Press Union of Liberia (PUL) recently was forced to decry
the manner in which a journalist was battered without due process, and incarcerated
while another was languishing in jail.
In a statement it released to the public to express its displeasure
the union said Liberia’s Police Inspector General affected an order on “Friday,
October 12, 2012 after the journalist allegedly took his photograph on the
ground of the Temple of Justice on Capitol Hill.” The Temple of Justice
housed the Liberian Supreme Court.
