The Executive Director of the Global Justice and Research Project (GJRP), Hassan Bility, who was recently discovered to have been illegally operating the not-for-profit organization in Liberia and defrauding government’s revenue while claiming to advance the interest of war crimes victims, is reportedly at the verge of losing his criminal syndicate and falling prey to the outcome of his many years of deception and trickery.
The Hot Pepper has been informed by international sources that a number of Bility’s victims—those who have undergone trial and serving their sentence and those awaiting trial—are all expected to be freed due to Bility’s witnesses lying under oath during prosecution and for the observation that Bility pays his witnesses to falsely testify against indictees.
Hassan Bility has been accused by international investigators of being the prime reason for many suspected and confirmed war criminals to go scout free, due to his tempering with their cases and providing fake witnesses who could not corroborate their testimonies against the individuals.
One such case is the Agnes Taylor case. International investigators revealed that Bility, an ex-ULIOM-K Operative, together with his partner, Alain Werner, of Civitas Maxima based in Switzerland, through their recruited coached-witnesses, lied that Taylor shot Margibi County’s former Superintendent, Amos Bohn, in the head, killing him instantly in Kakata in 1990, adding that Taylor also killed nurses and doctors at the Duside Hospital in Firestone, Margibi County.
Some of the fake witnesses presented to the British government to testify against Agnes Taylor were Alieu Kanneh, Morris Jarbateh, Mohammed Kromah, Moses Kpiah, Aminata Dulleh, Siaka Kieta, Fata Williams, Cindor Reeves, Makula Bility and Asata Kanneh.
Howbeit, according to the investigators, former Superintendent Amos Bohn is still alive and in the United Kingdom, further clarifying that no doctor or nurse was killed at Duside Hospital, as was said by the false witnesses.
The international investigators revealed Bility and his partner also pursued Varfley Dolleh, in order for him to make false statements against an alleged accused Liberian war actor or be prosecuted, but Dolleh refused. Dolleh’s refusal, according to information, irritated Bility, and this led to him creating lies against Dolleh so that he could be prosecuted in the United States, which left Dolleh with no option but to flee across to Canada for safety.
Varfley Dolleh was the Liaison Officer of Alhaji Kromah’s ULIMO-K, who orchestrated heinous crimes during the Liberian civil war. Dolleh could be prosecuted and, with the appropriate witnesses who saw him during the helm of the war, be brought down guilty. But because Bility and his cohorts have tempered with the case, it is now difficult, if not impossible, to bring down a guilty verdict against the ex-warlord.
Reports from Washington, D.C. further revealed that investigators burst both Bility and Werner for coaching witnesses to falsely accuse Michel DeSadeleer, a dual citizen of the US and Belgium, of war crimes, to benefit for personal and financial gain in Belgium. Unfortunately, the false allegations were too huge for Desadeleer to endure; as a result, he could not withstand the embarrassment to him and his family, and so he committed suicide.
Martina Johnson, a Commander of the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) rebel group during the first Liberian civil war, was accused of having committed many crimes, including sexual violence and murder, as well as the enlistment of child soldiers. She is accused of being one of the organizers of the infamous “Operation Octopus” in 1992, with the aim of getting Charles Taylor into power. Five American nuns were killed during the operation. These nuns were members of the “Adorers of the Blood of Christ” order—a Catholic order based in St. Louis, USA—who were acting as missionaries in Liberia but were also carrying out humanitarian works. Johnson is suspected of being involved in their deaths.
This could have been a case possible of bringing down a guilty verdict against the ex-NPFL female general, but again due to Bility and his partners, who hired and coached false witnesses to temper with the case, Martina Johnson could walk away a freed person.
The case of Alieu Kosiah, another ULIMO rebel general, was also tempered with by Bility and his partners who filed criminal complaints against him in Switzerland, and therefore he, too, could walk away a free man.
Mohammed Jabateh, alias Jungle Jabba, who was convicted in the United States for lying to immigration authorities about his role in the first Liberian civil war when he sought asylum in the late 1990s could also be freed because those who indicted and prosecuted him have been found out to be liars and crooks who are only after their personal benefit, at the detriment of international governments.
International investigators are saying that the blood of the late Thomas Woewiyu is on the hands of Hassan Bility and his partner, Alain Werner, of the Civitas Maxima, who together masterminded the lies to have the deceased prosecuted when he should have served as a state witness.
Also, they say, the case of Gibril Massaquoi at the Finnish Court at the RLJ in Monrovia is about to be dismissed, because the witnesses being brought by Bility have proved to be “paid agents” and were not actually there when the Massaquoi committed the crimes.
Massaquoi was one of the protected witnesses flown to Finland on immunity to testify against Charles Taylor. However, Bility and his partners have argued that Massaquoi could not have been a protected witness because the statute of the agreement between the United Nations (UN) and the Sierra Leonean government did not empower the Special Court for Sierra Leone to grant anyone immunity, and therefore Massaquoi has never been granted immunity.
According to Bility, Massaquoi was relocated to Finland after his cooperation with Alan White and his subordinates, but was not accepted to Finland as a protected witness.
The Hot Pepper has however been hinted that, whatever Massaquoi case may be, it will soon be dismissed because of Bility’s mischievous handling of the witnesses of the case.
They say too many persons and their families have suffered gravely at the hands of the two cons, who are masquerading as saints under the pretense of venting for war victims who do not have the voice to be heard.
The investigators further revealed that witnesses of Bility and Werner have provided disjointed lies about Moses Wright, Moses Thomas, Varfley Dolleh, Alieu Kosiah, Jungle Jarba, Martina Johnson, Agnes Taylor, Gibril Massaquoi, Gus Kouvanhowen, Jankuba Fofana, Kunty Kay, Michel Desadeleer and Thomas Woewayu (deceased).
They say Bility could risk prosecution for his disservice to the intelligence community and for criminally pursuing individuals without evidence.
