Charles Coffey, PUL President
To mark one year of Liberian journalists rally in Monrovia to detest the brutalization of media practitioners, the Press Union of Liberia (PUL) says litigation is the best reprimand for security forcesâ heavy-handedness.
On Thursday, March 11, 2020, Liberian journalists under the leadership of the Press Union of Liberia paraded the principal streets of Monrovia to draw national government, civil society, and the international community attention to security forces brutality against the Media in Liberia.
The PUL asserts that going forward all attacks on journalists will be analyzed to determine its merit for a possible court action on a case-by-case basis.

Just upon hearing a media report dispelling that the George Weah administration is not ready for the establishment of War and Economic Crimes Court in Liberia, a group of Civil Society Organizations along with the Liberia National Bar Association (LNBA) on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, agreed to carve a roadmap leading to addressing impunity and accountability by calling for the establishment of a war and economic crimes court.
Tuesday’s gathering that was initiated by the Liberian National Bar Association (LNBA), a body of lawyers, was intended to build solidarity with the broader Civil Society Organizations to develop a comprehensive strategy to engage key stakeholders and the Liberian population.
