Comments on: Taylor Says He Did Not Order Rebel Attack On Freetown; Calls Prosecution Allegations Against Him “Racist” http://www.charlestaylortrial.org/2009/10/05/taylor-says-he-did-not-order-rebel-attack-on-freetown-calls-prosecution-allegations-against-him-racist/ International Criminal Justice in the Making Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:22:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Twenty Years Charles Taylor: 1989 – 2009 | Liberian Perspectives http://www.charlestaylortrial.org/2009/10/05/taylor-says-he-did-not-order-rebel-attack-on-freetown-calls-prosecution-allegations-against-him-racist/#comment-98695 Twenty Years Charles Taylor: 1989 – 2009 | Liberian Perspectives Sun, 05 Jun 2011 19:26:43 +0000 http://www.charlestaylortrial.org/?p=4461#comment-98695 [...] Taylor is denying all charges – which shouldn’t surprise. Last week he said that he did not order Sierra Leonean rebel forces to attack Freetown in 1999. In fact, he is denying everything, his contacts with RUF leader Foday Sankoh after May 1992, the murdering of Samuel Bockarie and Daniel Tamba, and giving orders for the execution of Superman, a Liberian commander of the RUF, Sierra Leone’s rebel group, responsible for so many atrocities and notorious for its mutilation of children and adults by hacking off arms (‘short sleeves’ or ‘long sleeves’). One of the prosecution witnesses, Joseph Marzah, a former member of Taylor’s invasion force, in 1989, and fighting force, the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) last year testified that Taylor had feasted on Superman’s heart. Charles Taylor called prosecution allegations that he was involved in ritual sacrifice and cannibalism ‘racist’. [...] [...] Taylor is denying all charges – which shouldn’t surprise.

Well, you appeared like someone who knows everything about this case and I will suggest that you ask the ICC so that you can go and testify against Mr Taylor. It is better to talk about issues that you are well informed of than to just say what you fell things should be like. It is better to keep silence and observe issues such as this case even if you know little about it than to keep writing only to satisfy your little mind. I wish you were truly a Fallah Menjor, a name that I am very much formilia with. I will once again say what you don't want to hear, which is....the so-called ICC do not have any case against Taylor as far as the Sierra Leonian war is concerned. It is better to spend the money been wasted in this trial to assist Liberia and Sierra Leone. Once again I am not hear to discuss Menjor or counter argue with you as others do, but to comment on what is going on at the so-called ICC.

However, the prosecution is accountable to the people; be it Sierra Leonens, Liberians, the court, sponsers, or the world at large. However, I guess the prosecution disapported you also. Notwithstanding, the prosecution has just brought a case that evidence shows the man in question is not guilty. So you and your "AMANDA wish is a fleeting illusion to be pursuit.

However, you want to make up lost grounds for coming in late. And I don't have a problem with that. As far as we are concerned, President Johnson Sirleaf and her government told the entire world " Liberia has no charge on him" in 2006. He has been vandicated by Johnson Sirleaf 's government about Liberia. Besides, I don't know what you are talking about. Nic try though. Ms. Teage, very well.

Stop making every reason to justify your self fulfilling prophecy of seeing President Taylor being incarcerated. It did not work and it will still not going to work.

As the matter of fact, that's why the Liberian chanted in a very loud voice during the 1997 election, " you killed my ma, you killed my pa, I will vote for you "inspite of the west depicting a picture of President being the only rebel leader. We were protesting the west and opposition political parties message of Taylor being a vitriolic person and not the others and happy trigger war mongers and warlords..

Every day i learn more random facts about Taylors prison life, and i thought i already knew too many random facts, after we're done talking about life behind bars for Liberia former head of states, can we talk about, what his favorite hobbies are too, and how far along his wife could be?

He "guys" umm Taylor eats fillet mignon, on mondays, salmon on tuesdays, du pain avec du fromage, on because he likes to rest on wednesday, and on sundays for desert he has le gateau de cholate......any more information you want to share with the "guys" about Taylors accomadation and how wrong Fallah is about Taylor. What relevance does that have with the issue at hand justice. In a due process where justice is taking it's course the ICC cannot condemn a person before they are actually pronounced guilty, so even though we may have our reservations about Taylor's innocence in Sierra Leone, the ICC is responsible for hosting the legal process, so what do you suggest they keep him in a rat hole until he is pronounced guilty. What does Taylor enjoying satelite priviledges have to do with his "Person of his profile". I'm pretty sure the guy from Congo on trail is enjoying the same priviledged, because the ICC needs to properly treat a prisoner until they can be sentenced or else they will be accused of human rights violations. This was the most childish and irrelevant comment i saw and i had to comment. Have a wonderful day!!! “GUYS”,
