Actions Taken
On February 27, Liberian National Police spokesperson Moses Carter told CPJ via messaging app that the names of three implicated officers had been forwarded to the police force’s professional standards division for investigation. If they were found culpable, administrative action would be taken against them, he said, adding that the officers could be suspended or otherwise penalized under the Police Act of 2015.
Carter added that Miller’s case was not a police matter, as Miller was allegedly assaulted by officers of the Executive Protection Service.
