TEAM CLARENCE RAISES ALARM OVER ESCALATING POLITICAL TENSION AND TARGETED INTIMIDATION IN DISTRICT #17
Monrovia, Liberia β Team Clarence is deeply concerned and alarmed by the growing wave of intimidation, provocation, and suspicious activities directed at the family and supporters of former District #17 Representative Candidate, Hon. Clarence H Cole , amid increasing political tension within the district.
During the Morning hours of Thursday, May 29, 2016, a disturbing video involving the mentally unstable elder brother of Hon. Cole was deliberately circulated across social media platforms in what appears to be a calculated attempt to mock, humiliate, and emotionally target the family for political purposes.
We strongly condemn this inhumane and reckless actπ‘π‘π‘
More concerning, during the late hours of the night, a suspicious individual was caught secretly recording the family residence in District #17 under questionable circumstances. When confronted by alert community residents, the individual failed to provide any legitimate explanation for his actions and gave multiple contradictory statements regarding his identity and place of residence.
Given the sensitive political atmosphere currently surrounding District #17, this incident cannot and should not be treated as ordinary.
The timing, nature, and coordinated pattern of these activities raise serious security concerns for the safety of Hon. Cole, his family, supporters, and the wider community.
The suspect has since been turned over to the Liberia National Police, Zone #6 Depot in Brewerville, and the matter has been officially reported for investigation.
Team Clarence wishes to make it categorically clear that no amount of intimidation, harassment, fear tactics, or politically motivated pressure will silence or weaken our commitment to the people of District #17. We remain steadfast in defending the dignity, peace, and democratic rights of our community.
We also caution individuals and groups who may be exploiting the current political tension to target innocent family members or create fear within the district to immediately desist from such dangerous actions. Liberiaβs democracy must never be reduced to intimidation and political hostility.
At this critical moment, we call on:
π The Liberia National Police and all national security institutions to conduct a swift and professional investigation into the incident;
π Political actors and their supporters to promote peace and responsible conduct;
π Residents of District #17 to remain vigilant, calm, and law-abiding.
Team Clarence remains committed to peace, justice, democratic engagement, and the protection of every citizen within District #17.
Anyone with credible information regarding the identity or activities of the individual involved is encouraged to privately contact Team Clarence or cooperate with the Liberia National Police Headquarters .
