For allegedly violating the rights of Muslims in Liberia, a group calling itself the Movement for Islamic Holidays in Liberia threatens to take Liberian Government to task.

The movement’s Chairman, Ayoubah Swaray, said the alleged refusal of the legislature to legislate bills making the end of Ramadan and Abraham Day as national holidays for Muslims in Liberia needs the intervention of the Muslim world.

Addressing reporters in Monrovia, Swaray disclosed that the compliant will be preceded by a peaceful sit-in action in the capitals of the 15 political subdivisions.

According to him, these actions are necessary because all efforts aimed at peacefully legislating these holidays for the Muslims who comprised about 12.5 percent of the country’s population have failed.

The movement comprises of the National Muslim Students Association and the University of Liberia Muslims Students Association.
