Monrovia- SUP Condems LNP over the arbitrary arrest of its militant chair and others while threatening the government if she fails to release those arrested, she will get the wrath of them.

The University of Liberia campus-based political party, the Student Unification Party (SUP) has condemned the arbitrary arrest and unlawful incarceration of its Militant Chair Willie Nyumah Bombo and others.

SUP, through its press statement, is calling on President Weah’s government to unconditionally and immediately release all those arrested; applauds patriotic citizens for the mammoth turnout and peaceful conduct demonstrated on June 7, 2019.

“It is now more conspicuous to purvey that the Republic stands at a critical juncture – a time in our history when the rule of law is flagrantly violated due to heightened incompetence and bad governance. We either struggle to usher in a new social revolution based on popular power and genuine democracy by propelling the mass of our people into history and challenging the growing attempt to slaughter our democracy by President Weah and his gang of kakistocrats, or the Republic risks falling into the cesspool of dictatorship, authoritarianism, and autocracy,” SUP press statement said.

“Comrades and compeers, we want to bring to your attention the arbitrary arrest and subsequent illegal incarceration of five peaceful students who were arrested on Wednesday, June 5, 2019, on the Capitol Hill campus of the University of Liberia. These five peaceful students including the militant chair Willie Bombo and Co-Chair Women Pressidum Laytopoe Yealue of the indomitable Vanguard Student Unification Party were arrested only because they have shown up peacefully in solidarity of the arrest of our Chairman Carlos T. Edison. Since then, their fundamental rights have been abused by the government of Liberia. We see this as a blatant violation of the Criminal Procedure Law and article 21 (c) of the 1986 Constitution of Liberia.”

SUP through its press statement calls on the government of President Weah to unconditionally and immediately release the students, saying that their comrades have done nothing wrong to be arrested. “If anyone must be arrested and treated like this, let it be President Weah who knows the well-about of our missing 16 Billion or 25 Million. If the government fails to free our comrades now, they will face the wrath of the students. We will resist them with our bare hands until our comrades are removed from jail.”

“We want to use this medium to applaud all well-meaning Liberians who demonstrated their fundamental and constitutional right on June 7 on Capitol Hill in support of the Save the State June 7 Protest. We admonish the peaceful and orderly nature exhibited by all patriotic Liberians who exercised their constitutional rights yesterday. SUP has always fought to uphold the fragile peace that all Liberians enjoy,” the press statement concluded.
