The Student Unification Party (SUP) has called for the immediate dismissal of Police Inspector General, Gregory Coleman, and Malachi S. Kolubah, PSU-197, for unprofessionalism, failures as well as gross human rights violations against students and masses of the Liberian people; Cynthia Quinisier reports. SUP Chairman, Sylvester Wheeler, said almost a year into the Boakai-Koung rule in the country they are yet to see tangible progress in the livelihood of the people, and that ordinary masses have turned out to be constant victims of inept officials of government, including the failed Inspector General of the Liberia National Police (LNP) in a short period of time. According to Chairman Wheeler, since the IG was announced his leadership has been marked by brutal repression and consistent victimization as well as killings of innocent civilians by his untrained, demotivated and underpaid partisan police. “The continued brutal crackdown on protester indicates the government’s intolerance towards the protection of its citizens rights and the tenets of democracy,” he said. He said on several occasions the Liberia National Police (LNP) has been seen utilizing lethal forces, teargas canisters and live rubber bullets to disperse peaceful protesting students at the University of Liberia (UL) and other parts of the country. “The vanguard Student Unification Party (SUP) will not hesitate to rally the people across the landscape if Gregory Coleman and his gangster Malachi S. Kolubah are not dismissed. SUP believes that all the anti-democratic acts violate the Constitution and international laws which Liberia is a signatory, and have the propensity to plunge this fragile nation into chaos,” Chairman Wheeler noted in a press release. The Student Unification Party is also calling on the Independent Human Rights Commission, United Nation, African Union, ECOWAS, the United States Embassy near Monrovia and other international partners to prevail on the Boakai-Koung government and ensure the LNP is rescued with the immediate dismissals and investigation of Gregory Coleman and Malachi S. Kolubah to avoid future catastrophe.
