US to deport Liberian over child soldier allegations

Posted by ATACMAG on Tue, 02/07/2012 - 10:56am in Politics, Other-News, Africa, George Boley, Liberia, United States

A US immigration judge has ordered the deportation of a Liberian accused of presiding over atrocities during the West African country's civil war in the 1990s. George Boley, 62, the former leader of the Liberian Peace Council, was ordered out of the country by an immigration judge in upstate New York, the first-ever removal under a 2008 law to combat the use of child soldiers.

The ruling on Monday was also based on accusations that Boley had ordered extra-judicial killings during the conflict. "The United States has always been a place of refuge and freedom from oppression for millions," US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton said in a statement.

"We must ensure that those who come here seeking freedom and the rule of law do not have to fear that their persecutor may become their neighbor." Neither Boley nor his representatives could immediately be reached for comment. He has previously denied allegations of rights abuses.

The government cited "credible reports" that Boley authorized the executions of seven of his soldiers on November 14, 1995. It cited testimony from Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) that Boley's LPC burned dozens of captives it accused of witchcraft and that it massacred 27 people, after raping the women, during an attack on a village.

The atrocities were allegedly committed during the country's two back-to-back civil wars, which ran from 1989 to 2003 and left a quarter of a million people dead.

Jeremy Lin’s continued excellence

Jeremy Lin’s continued excellence has been perfectly Air Jordan 8 timed with Carmelo Anthony currently out nursing an injury, both for the once struggling New York Knicks and Melo’s sneaker backers. Lin’s not a Jordan Brand athlete, but all the attention on the orange and Air Jordan SC-2 blue (and black) means that this upcoming Air Jordan IV release is sure to get its fair share of ‘Linsanity’-laden references in the sneaker blogosphere. But despite Michael Jordan coming up in conversation this week as we’re reminded that he’s the most prolific scorer in the history of basketball at Madison Square Garden, a recent look-see event saw Jordan Brand unveil them with a more logical theme. The Air Jordan IV ‘Cavs‘ is a reminder that before Lin sent Floyd Mayweather a rather public ‘Stick to boxing’ tweet at Air Canada Centre last Air Jordan 7 night, MJ took a game winning jumper of his own to crush Craig Ehlo and the 1989 Cleveland Cavaliers, ending the Bulls’ opening round upset of the three-seed in spectacular fashion. We’ve seen a variety of Cavs and Knicks colorways on a select few Air Jordans including some Air Jordan 14 spectacular PEs over the years, but is this the best one to hit retail yet? Let us know what you think about the corrected Air Jordan 2012 inspiration and stick Air Jordan TC with Sneaker News for the ‘Cavs’ Air Jordan IV release date. via rstor
