PUBLIC MEMO

CDC-COP NOTIFIES TOM LANTOS HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION ABOUT GREGORY COLEMAN HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN LIBERIA

Fellow Liberians, on May 26, 2026, CDC-Council of Patriots (CDC-COP) through its contact patriot in the United States of America formally notified the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission of the United States Congress concerning the alarming human rights violations, police brutality, democratic repression, unlawful killings, torture, and abuse of state authority under the leadership of Liberia National Police Inspector General Gregory O.W. Coleman.

The communication was officially submitted to the Commission's Co-Chairs, Congressman James P. McGovern, Democratic Co-Chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, and Congressman Christopher H. Smith, Republican Co-Chair of the Commission. Both lawmakers are internationally recognized for their longstanding advocacy for human rights, democracy, and the protection of civil liberties around the world.

In its communication, CDC-COP detailed what it described as an alarming deterioration of democratic freedoms and human rights protections in Liberia. The report highlighted unlawful arrests of its National Chairman Foday N. Massaquoi and 19 others militants of the Student Unification Party, suppression of peaceful protests, torture of activists, deaths in police custody, the Kinjor killings massacre, and the recent shooting of a motorcyclist by a police officer on the Japan Freeway.

The organization further informed the United States of America Congress that constitutional rights guaranteed under Articles 11, 15, and 17 of the Liberian Constitution are being undermined through intimidation, excessive use of force, arbitrary detention, and restrictions on citizens exercising their democratic freedoms.
CDC-COP specifically requested that Congressman James P. McGovern and Congressman Christopher H. Smith use the authority of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission to examine the widespread police brutality and democratic repression in Liberia and to encourage international accountability mechanisms where appropriate.

SCARING MESSAGE TO THE GOVERNMENT OF LIBERIA AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY ESTABLISHMENT
The formal notification of Congressman James P. McGovern and Congressman Christopher H. Smith represents a major international escalation of concerns surrounding the continued human rights abuses in Liberia. The issues raised are no longer confined to national debate but have now been brought before one of the most respected bipartisan human rights bodies within the United States Congress. The Unity Party regime and all security officers allowing themselves to be used to shoot and kill innocent citizens should understand that international human rights oversight often begins with reports and petitions but can develop into congressional hearings, official investigations, diplomatic engagement, sanctions recommendations, visa restrictions, financial penalties, and heightened international monitoring.

CDC-COP maintains that every reported act of police brutality, every allegation of torture, every unlawful arrest of peaceful demonstrators, every unexplained death in custody, and every violation of constitutional rights will continue to be documented and presented before international institutions until accountability is achieved. The attention of Congressman McGovern and Congressman Smith sends a powerful signal that the world is watching developments in Liberia. Their involvement places allegations of police misconduct and democratic repression under the spotlight of the international human rights community.

Liberia now stands at a critical moment. Continued reports of violence, intimidation, and violations of civil liberties risk damaging the country's democratic reputation, weakening investor confidence, affecting international partnerships, and attracting increased scrutiny from foreign governments and human rights organizations.

CDC-COP therefore urges the Government of Liberia, Inspector General Gregory Coleman, and all state security institutions to immediately uphold constitutional democracy, respect freedom of expression, protect peaceful assembly, and ensure accountability for any violations of human rights because people will definitely account for their actions very soon.

The Liberian people deserve justice. The Liberian people deserve dignity. The Liberian people deserve freedom. And Congressman James P. McGovern and Congressman Christopher H. Smith have now been formally called upon to help ensure that those principles are protected in Liberia.

CDC-COP Describes CSA Josiah Joekai as “Non-Governmental Material”; Calls on Senate to Issue Vote of No Confidence

The CDC–Council of Patriots has called on the Liberian Senate to issue a vote of no confidence in Josiah Joekai, describing him as “non-governmental material” unfit to continue serving within the Boakai administration.

In a statement released Thursday, the CDC-COP accused President Joseph Nyuma Boakai of allowing partisanship to overshadow professionalism within national governance.

The movement argued that the administration has continuously protected politically connected officials while ignoring public concerns surrounding competence and accountability in government.

According to the CDC-COP, Josiah Joekai’s continued presence within government reflects what it described as a broader pattern of partisan favoritism and institutional decline under the Boakai-Koung administration.

The movement further alleged that the President would refuse to act against officials closely associated with the ruling establishment regardless of growing criticism from the public.

CDC-COP Describes LFA Elections as a Compromised Process; Gives Mustapha Raji Seven Days to Remove Unity Party Officials from Around LFA or Risk Grave Consequences

The CDC–Council of Patriots has rejected the recent election process at the Liberia Football Association, describing it as a compromised process allegedly influenced by the ruling Unity Party.

In a strongly worded statement issued Thursday, the CDC-COP Chairman, Foday N. Massaquoi accused LFA President Mustapha Raji of entering what it called a “ demonic political marriage” with the Boakai-Koung administration in pursuit of a controversial third term.

According to the movement, the growing presence of senior Unity Party officials within the LFA threatens the independence and integrity of Liberian football governance. The CDC-COP specifically alleged that senior ruling party officials, Luther Tarpeh, anti- christ party Chairman and Amos B. Tweh, Secretary General now occupy strategic positions related to mobilization, resource funding, marketing, and sponsorship within the football institution.

The movement claimed that this development violates FIFA principles regarding the independence of football associations from political interference.

Citing Articles 14 and 19 of FIFA Statutes, the CDC-COP warned that football institutions are required to manage their affairs independently and avoid third-party political control.

“Today, sports integrity and the autonomy of Liberian football governance are hanging in the balance,” the statement asserted.

The movement further accused the ruling establishment of attempting to use the LFA’s financial and institutional resources for political purposes ahead of the 2029 general elections.

From this backdrop, the CDC-COP has given Mustapha Raji seven days to remove all Unity Party officials appointed within or around the LFA structure. “Failure to act in the interest of serving football independently will place full responsibility for any possible consequences, including the total ban of Liberia from all FIFA-related sporting activities, squarely on Mr. Raji,” the movement warned.

The CDC-COP also declared that it would continue resisting what it called the shameful backwardness of the football association into a “Unity Party-LFA.”

The statement comes amid growing national debate over politics and governance within sports institutions in Liberia.

CDC-COP Hails Nurse Paola Bedell as a National Icon; Demands Immediate Reinstatement by JFK and Boakai-Koung Administration

The CDC–Council of Patriots has strongly condemned the suspension, arrest, and public humiliation of Registered Nurse Paola N. Bedell by the John F. Kennedy Medical Center, describing the action as a dangerous attack on truth, transparency, and public health accountability in Liberia.

Speaking through its National Executive Council, the CDC-COP praised Nurse Bedell as “a patriotic Liberian health worker and national icon” whose only offense was encouraging fellow health workers to remain cautious amid growing concerns surrounding possible Ebola-related cases under review in Liberia.

According to the movement, the Government of Liberia’s reported request for approximately USD $4.2 million (LRD 768 million) for emergency preparedness while simultaneously punishing a frontline nurse for raising precautionary concerns exposes serious contradictions within the state’s handling of public health matters.

“If there is absolutely no Ebola concern in Liberia, why is the government seeking millions for preparedness? Why are suspected cases reportedly under review? Why are health workers being internally briefed on Ebola precautions?” the statement questioned.

The CDC-COP argued that Nurse Bedell committed no crime and instead acted responsibly in the interest of public safety. The movement emphasized that during previous outbreaks such as the 2014 Ebola crisis, frontline nurses and doctors were often the first to identify warning signs that ultimately helped save lives.

The group warned that silencing health professionals through intimidation and punishment creates fear within the healthcare sector and discourages transparency during potential national emergencies.

“Great nations protect truth tellers. Weak governments persecute them,” the statement declared.

The CDC-COP also challenged the JFK administration to publicly explain the legal basis for suspending the nurse, insisting that administrative institutions must never become political weapons used to silence ordinary citizens.

The movement concluded by expressing solidarity with health workers across Liberia and warning against the politicization of any potential Ebola situation.

“Truth is not a crime. Silencing nurses will never stop diseases,” the statement concluded.

Media Statement Delivered by:

FODAY N. MASSAQUOI
National Chairman
CDC–Council of Patriots

May 27, 2026

Fellow Liberians, members of the press, distinguished citizens, our supportive brethrens in the diaspora and our resilient people across the Republic of Liberia: Today, the National Executive Council of the CDC–Council of Patriots addresses the nation with grave concern regarding issues that strike at the very heart of truth, justice, public accountability, and national integrity.

First and foremost, the CDC-COP strongly condemns the cruel, politically motivated, and unjust suspension of Registered Nurse, Paola N. Bedell by the John F. Kennedy Medical Center following her precautionary warning to fellow health workers regarding possible Ebola-related concerns. The CDC-COP views this action not only as an attack on one patriotic nurse, but as a dangerous assault on truth, transparency, and public health accountability in Liberia.

At a time when the Government of Liberia has acknowledged approximately 16 Ebola-related cases under review and is simultaneously requesting nearly USD $4.2 million ( LRD 768 million) for emergency preparedness, it becomes deeply hypocritical and suspicious for the same government to criminalize and humiliate a frontline health worker for urging caution among her colleagues.

If there is absolutely no Ebola concern in Liberia, why is the government seeking millions of dollars for preparedness? Why are suspected cases being monitored? Why were health workers secretly briefed internally about Ebola precautions? And most importantly, why was a nurse arrested, jailed, publicly humiliated, and suspended merely for warning her co-workers to protect themselves and their families?

Fellow Liberians, these contradictions are alarming and dangerous. The CDC-COP maintains that Nurse Bedell committed no crime. She did not sabotage the state. She did not incite violence. She did not spread hatred. She simply acted as a responsible healthcare worker by encouraging vigilance during a possible public health threat.

History has repeatedly shown that during deadly outbreaks such as Ebola, frontline nurses and doctors are often the first people to identify unusual symptoms and raise early warnings that can save lives. Silencing or intimidating health workers discourages transparency and creates fear within the healthcare system. Such actions can delay reporting, weaken preparedness, and place the entire population at risk.

Liberia painfully remembers the devastating Ebola crisis of 2014, where delayed responses, misinformation, fear, and lack of public trust contributed to the deaths of thousands of innocent people. Any government that truly learned from that tragedy would encourage precautionary communication — not punish it.

Therefore, the CDC-COP demands the following: 1) The immediate and unconditional reinstatement of Nurse Paola N. Bedell to her professional duties; 2) A formal public apology from the JFK administration and all state security actors involved in her unlawful arrest, detention, and humiliation; 3) The immediate withdrawal of all politically motivated disciplinary actions against her; 4) Full transparency from the Ministry of Health and the National Public Health Institute of Liberia regarding the alleged Ebola-related cases under review; 5) An independent investigation into the abuse of state power against healthcare professionals who raise legitimate public health concerns.

Furthermore, the CDC-COP believes Nurse Bedell should not be punished, but rather honored as a patriotic Liberian health worker who sounded an early precautionary alarm out of concern for the safety of her colleagues, patients, and the Liberian people. Great nations protect truth tellers. Weak governments persecute them.

We also challenge the JFK administration to explain under what law this nurse was suspended. Administrative institutions must not become political weapons used to silence ordinary citizens who speak uncomfortable truths. Reinstate the revolutionary nurse now!!!

The CDC-COP warns that the politicization of a potential Ebola situation is extremely reckless and unacceptable. Public health emergencies must never become platforms for intimidation, propaganda, or suppression. The Liberian people deserve honesty, scientific transparency, and responsible leadership — not fear, secrecy, and selective punishment.

The CDC-COP stands in unwavering solidarity with Nurse Paola N. Bedell and all courageous health workers across Liberia who continue to risk their lives daily in service to the nation. Patriotic health workers must be protected, not persecuted. Truth is not a crime. Silencing nurses will never stop diseases.

Fellow Liberians, the CDC-COP also wishes to address the recent Liberia Football Association, or LFA, election process, which we describe as a compromised process wherein Mustapha Raji’s desperation for an unholy third term pushed him into a demonic marriage with the Boakai-Koung administration, thereby reducing the LFA into a Unity Party auxiliary. The CDC-COP condemns this weaponization of sports governance. In accordance with FIFA Statutes, Article 14 and Article 19 clearly emphasize that member associations must manage their affairs independently and avoid third-party interference. FIFA has historically suspended countries where governments or political groups were found to be controlling football institutions. Today, sports integrity and the autonomy of Liberian football governance are hanging in the balance, and we will explore all lawful and democratic options to correct this contradiction.

But today at the LFA, the Unity Party Chairman and what many have described as an anti-Christ pastor serves as Head for Mobilization and Resource Funding. At the same time, the Unity Party Secretary General, Amos B. Tweh, reportedly paid USD $34,000 to become an Executive Committee member and has now been appointed Chairman of Marketing and Sponsorship at the LFA.

Fellow Liberians, when the two most powerful officials of the ruling party are supervising resources and holding influence within the institution including the power to influence the removal of the LFA President, is this not political capture for political manipulation?

The CDC-COP believes that the entrance of Unity Party officials into the LFA is intended to use LFA resources and funding for political campaigning ahead of 2029. We reject this completely and will resist it with every democratic means available to us.

From this backdrop, the CDC-COP gives Mr. Raji one week (seven days ) to remove all Unity Party officials appointed within or around the LFA, in accordance with Articles 14 and 19 of the FIFA Statutes.

Failure to act in the interest of serving football independently will place full responsibility for any possible consequences, including the total ban of Liberia from all FIFA-related sporting activities, squarely on Mr. Raji.

And let it be known: we will stop at absolutely nothing until the LFA ceases to function as a Unity Party-LFA.

Additionally, the CDC-COP declares Mr. Josiah Joekai as a non-governmental material who must be immediately threatened as he is by the Liberian Senate. President Boakai has allowed partisanship to overshadow professionalism in national governance. He will never take action against his Partisan Joekai.

Fellow Liberians, we wish to appreciate and encourage Liberians from all walks of life for their overwhelming support toward the “Boakai Must LEAD or LEAVE” Protest slated for July 17, 2026, at the Executive Mansion. We encourage all patriotic citizens to continue mobilizing peacefully, courageously, and lawfully as we collectively demand accountability, justice, constitutional governance, and national transformation.

May God bless you all, and may God bless the Republic of Liberia. Together, we will protect the state

CDC-COP EXTENDS APPEAL TO THE UNITED NATIONS OVER GROWING INSECURITY, DEMOCRATIC DECLINE, AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN LIBERIA

To: H.E. António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations

Through: H.E. Christine N. Umutoni
United Nations Resident Coordinator to Liberia

Subject: Urgent International Attention Needed on Democratic Backsliding, Human Rights Violations, and the Removal of Liberia from the United Nations Security Council

The CDC-Council of Patriots (CDC-COP) extends warm patriotic greetings with a deep sense of nationalistic obligation to the leading international institution founded to ensure world peace, justice, democratic governance, and global order.

The National Executive Council of Liberia’s foremost political civil rights movement has moved to write this appeal because all domestic channels to address our remonstrances in Liberia have been systematically resisted, ignored, or suppressed under the Boakai-Koung administration. The current reality in Liberia reflects a dangerous erosion of democratic principles, constitutional order, and human rights protections that now requires urgent international intervention.

According to the structure of the Liberian state, the first branch of government is the Legislature, which makes the laws and possesses the authority to supervise and even remove the Presidency when necessary. The second is the Executive, which enforces the laws, followed by the Judiciary, which interprets the laws. Sadly, under this Boakai-Koung administration, the Legislature has allegedly been reduced into a political extension of the Unity Party Executive. It has been used to unlawfully expel a critical Representative, unlawfully remove an Opposition Speaker, and threaten lawmakers who dare express dissent against what many Liberians describe as worsening governance and democratic decline. Democracy is dying under the Boakai-Koung administration.

Further concerns arise from public statements attributed to Unity Party Chairman Luther Tarpeh, who declared plans for the regime to remain in power for “200 years by any means necessary” and further suggested that those unwilling to align with the Unity Party would be denied employment opportunities. Such statements directly undermine democratic pluralism, equal opportunity, and constitutional governance as guaranteed under Liberia’s Constitution.

The Judiciary, which should stand as the last hope for justice, has equally become a subject of deep public concern. Constitutional provisions and legal standards have been violated without accountability. The Chief Justice is an unlawful and lawless judge that has violated the laws nearly 10 times. Many Liberians now fear that the principle of separation of powers has been dangerously weakened, leaving the country vulnerable to executive overreach and democratic exclusion.

The current climate of insecurity and intimidation has become alarming. On April 14, 2026, the National Chairman of the CDC-COP, Foday N. Massaquoi, along with several student leaders of the Vanguard Student Unification Party, were unlawfully arrested, jailed, tortured, and stripped naked without formal charges. Their only alleged offense was participating in peaceful demonstrations demanding jobs, justice, and accountability. Article 17 of the 1986 Constitution of Liberia guarantees peaceful assembly, yet reports indicate repeated crackdowns against peaceful protesters, youth activists, and opposition voices.

CDC-COP respectfully calls on the United Nations and its relevant human rights bodies to investigate these allegations independently and consider appropriate international accountability measures, including targeted sanctions against individuals accused of undermining democracy and violating human rights.

Millions of Liberians are reportedly living in deep frustration and uncertainty as democratic institutions weaken under the Boakai-Koung administration. The silence of the international community, particularly the United Nations Mission and the United Nations Resident Coordinator’s Office in Liberia, has become a growing concern among many citizens who fear Liberia is drifting toward democratic collapse and state-sponsored repression.

The Kinjor Massacre remains another deeply troubling issue. Security forces under the supervision of Inspector General, Gregory Coleman were responsible for the deaths of peaceful protesters demanding fair benefits and equitable distribution of land and mining resources. Reports further indicate that the government investigated itself, justified the killings, and offered financial compensation that has not been fully honored months later. The matter has since escalated into legal action involving the Government of Liberia and Bea Mountain Mining Company.

Additionally, concerns surrounding police brutality, mysterious deaths, intimidation of critics, selective justice, corruption, illegal dismissals, and increasing insecurity continue to dominate national discourse. The Liberia National Police has been reduced to a killing unit and auxiliary of the Unity Party. The Police under Gregory Coleman had killed more innocent Liberians than Malaria in the last 3 years. The deaths of individuals such as James Pandy, Little Favor and Sgt. Bobby Manneh, alongside reports of unexplained deaths in police custody, have intensified public distrust in state institutions and security agencies.

Equally alarming is the fact that sensitive national data and intelligence information was been transferred to a Lebanese company that is associated with Hezbollah, a terrorist group under an unlawful l arrangements. The high increase surrounding unemployment, widespread drug abuse, economic hardship, and election manipulation plans have further heightened tensions within the country. Democracy is dying in Liberia.

The CDC-COP firmly believes in democratic governance, constitutional order, and the rule of law. However, democracy cannot survive where intimidation replaces debate, where opposition voices are silenced, and where constitutional violations allegedly become normalized without consequences.

It is against this background that CDC-COP respectfully appeals to the United Nations, the United Nations Human Rights Council, and the United Nations Resident Coordinator to Liberia to urgently intervene in Liberia’s worsening democratic and security crisis.

We further call for serious international review regarding Liberia’s continued participation on the United Nations Security Council. A nation facing allegations of democratic suppression, constitutional violations, insecurity, and human rights abuses should not occupy a moral position of global democratic representation while its own democratic institutions are allegedly deteriorating internally.

Liberia is gradually heading toward democratic exclusion under the Boakai-Koung administration. The Liberian people deserve protection, justice, accountability, and renewed confidence in democratic governance.

The United Nations was established to defend peace, protect human dignity, and prevent abuses of power. Liberia now needs that intervention before the situation deteriorates further into national instability.

Patriotically Yours,

CDC-COP Endorses July 17 “LEAD OR LEAVE” Protest; Calls on All Liberians to Mobilize for What Will Be the Patriotic People’s Statement To Hold the Boakai-Koung Administration Accountable on Its Performances

The National Executive Council of the CDC-Council of Patriots (CDC-COP) officially endorses the July 17, 2026 peaceful mass protest under the banner: “LEAD OR LEAVE NOW — THE 2ND COMING,” organized by the SAVE LIBERIA PROTEST COALITION and led by Chairman Mulbah K. Morlu Jr.

Fellow Liberians and patriotic countrymen, for us in the CDC-COP, we say that July 17 Boakai must LEAD or LEAVE Protest is not a pro-opposition or anti- Unity Party campaign. This is a people’s process and everyone from all walks of life are welcomed to stand and demand better for this country. The hunger and hardship in Liberia has no party's color. That is why we see this campaign as a moment to collectively collaborate and ensure the government of the day deliver on its promises to all Liberians.

CDC-COP’s endorsement of this peaceful mass action that will be conducted at the Executive Mansion of Liberia is driven by the growing national crisis confronting ordinary Liberians. The continuous increase in economic hardship, the wicked tax rise in GST taxes from 10% to 13%, massive corruption across government institutions, alarming mysterious deaths across the country, widespread joblessness, police brutality, and the disturbing increase in r**e and so**my cases have created fear, frustration, and hopelessness among the Liberian people.

Additionally, CDC-COP remains deeply concerned about the consistent violations of the Liberian Constitution, which many citizens believe now exceed more than 193 separate violations under the current administration. These repeated constitutional breaches, coupled with growing intimidation and selective justice, continue to weaken democratic institutions and public confidence in governance. The suffering of the Liberian people can no longer be ignored.

My humble audience, market women are struggling to survive under unbearable economic pressure. Civil servants are experiencing delays and hardship while prices for basic commodities continue to rise daily. Young people are graduating into unemployment with little hope for opportunities. Business owners are shutting down operations because of economic instability and unbearable taxation. Communities are increasingly living in fear due to rising insecurity, unexplained deaths, and the growing perception that justice only favors the powerful.

CDC-COP believes that every democracy survives on the strength of the people’s voice, and when the cries of ordinary citizens are repeatedly ignored, peaceful democratic resistance becomes not only a constitutional right, but a national responsibility. The July 17 mobilization therefore represents a defining civic moment for Liberians who believe the country is heading in the wrong direction.

This movement is bigger than politics. It is about the future of Liberia and the protection of democratic accountability. It is about standing for struggling families, unemployed youth, vulnerable women and children, and citizens whose voices continue to be neglected.

CDC-COP calls upon all patriotic Liberians, including students, civil society organizations, opposition parties, disappointed Unity Partisans, religious leaders, women groups, community activists, and the Liberian diaspora to peacefully mobilize and participate in this historic democratic action.

We emphasize that this protest is intended to remain peaceful, lawful, and constitutional but we will sustain it with our life and blood until Mr. Boakai lead or leave.

At the same time, CDC-COP calls on state security institutions to respect the constitutional rights of citizens to peacefully assemble, protest, and petition their government without intimidation, violence, or political persecution. The abuse of peaceful protesters only deepens public anger and damages Liberia’s democratic image.

July 17 is becoming more than a protest. It is becoming the people’s statement before the 2029 elections — a clear declaration that Liberians are tired of suffering, tired of corruption, tired of injustice, and determined to peacefully demand change. Liberia belongs to the people, and the voices of the people must never be silenced.
