Albert Bropleh’s Unlawful Arrest and Imprisonment Reaches 2 Months!
Today marks 57 days since Mr. Albert Bropleh was kidnapped and illegally detained in Liberia, without appearing before a judge or magistrate— a clear violation of the law. Conditions in the prison are deteriorating. He has been denied access to his lawyer, and access to a phone to communicate with his lawyer and his family. […]
Mr. Bropleh’s Prison Cell Violated
JusticeForAlbert received a copy of the following SMS sent by Mr. Albert Bropleh to his lawyer:
“Counsel, I just want to alert you that my prison room was violated today. It was entered into while I was out, without my knowledge. I did not notice anything missing, but my fear is the intruder could have planted something, given my perculiar situation coupled with all that continues to happen to me here in Liberia.”
We’re asking those who been following this story to please continue to speak with congress and the state department concerning Mr. Bropleh’s unjust and unfair plight. Not only have his human rights been violated, but his family is constantly harassed, and government officials fail to honor the Writ of Habeas Corpus issued by the Liberian Supreme Court. We need your help to continue to spread awareness and help bring justice to Mr. Albert Bropleh and his family.
Thank You!

President Orders Judicial Change
JusticeForAlbert received the following SMS from Mr. Albert Bropleh this morning:
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf last week met with Supreme Court Chief Justice Johnnie Lewis in her office and instructed him to place Associate Justice Jamesetta Wolokollie in Chambers, instead of Associate Justice Kabinah Ja’neh whose turn it is according to the law. If this isn’t judicial interference and a breach, then I don’t know what qualifies? Associate Justice Ja’neh is a sure-footed, confident and independent-minded justice who follows the law. He is not a timid person, and is not easily muzzled.
Why the sudden change in justices??
Liberian Government Harasses Mr. Albert Bropleh’s Family
JusticeForAlbert has received news that the government in Liberia has begun to harass the family of Mr. Albert Bropleh, who is still under arrest following a kidnapping in Liberia; although the Supreme Court has issued a Writ of Habeas Corpus for his release.
Mr. Bropleh sent the following message via SMS earlier today:
“The government of Liberia is harassing my family. The LACC (Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission) vehicle that tailed my family today belongs to LACC boss Frances Johnson Morris, with license plate “LACC-1″. It is a black Toyota Fortuner SUV. This one tailed them for more than 7 miles. As for yesterday, the vehicle that actively pursued them for more than 53 miles was a Hyundai SUV, rust/sand color, with LACC tag. Also, LACC vehicles frequent my residence daily. This [is] pure harassment and it must [stop] now. Is this how the U.S. taxpayers would like their foreign aid money spent, considering the U.S. Government provides budget support? Please do something to help my family and me. -Albert.”
Again, we’re encouraging all of those who are aware of Mr. Bropleh’s unfair treatment to please speak up and put pressure on the government to honor the Writ of Habeas Corpus issued by the Supreme Court, and release Mr. Bropleh. This recent wave of harassment is a scare tactic intended to intimidate those seeking justice. Thanks for those who have begun spreading the word, and bringing attention to this matter. Please continue to do so. Thank You!

Please Help!!
“This is an SOS call for my life from a prison in ELLEN JOHNSON SIRLEAF’S Liberia! I was kidnapped from my home on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 by 7 unidentified men. Last Thursday, the Court issued a Writ of Habeas Corpus on the government and served on Justice Minister Christina Tarr; a week later, I’m still languishing in prison. The Supreme Court ordered my release but the presiding judge has gone into hiding. I need your help urgently, or else the government will silence me, which is its intent.”
Thanks for your help,
Albert Bropleh
