FIRST PART of CLA (Reading)


PATROL REPORT
On 12 December 2012 at 15.25 the Bong County Police received a telephone call reporting a roadblock in the area of Gbanga (Grid reference 115/125). Police patrol Bravo-2 responded to the scene, arriving at 16.00 hours, finding a large number of people gathered on the Gbanga Highway. There was a barricade formed on the highway made of rocks, stones and wrecked cars. The mob was shouting, throwing stones and fighting against several soldiers of Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL). As a response to this situation, at 16.30 hours, the Liberian National Police (LNP) and United Nations Police (UNPOL) including United Nations Formed Police Unit (FPU) were deployed to the scene with orders to clear the road. As soon as the road had been cleared by the police, the protesters built up another barricade across the highway. At 18.45 hours, after some clashes, deployed police forces managed to disperse the rioters and the highway was reopened. No arrest was made and no major injuries reported. The police estimated the number of protestors to be approximately five hundred.
FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 01
Reference is made to the incident reported on 12 December 2012.  The investigation regarding the unrests was launched by the Bong County Police. It revealed that the rioters were predominantly angry youth who joined commercial motorcyclists, all members of the Iron Gate Community. They launched the protest in response to an incident involving a motorcycle taxi driver and an AFL soldier. This incident took place the same day but shortly before the riots, around 13.30 hours. Reportedly, a young female hired a taxi motorcyclist, a member of Iron Gate Community in Gbanga, to drop her at her house. Upon arrival, however, she refused to pay for the ride. As the taxi driver insisted on payment, the female passenger called her boyfriend, an AFL soldier, who arrived at the scene and attacked the motorcyclist. He beat him up and left him on the street unconscious and bleeding. Then, the perpetrator and his girlfriend ran away from the scene. The victim was rushed to the hospital after an anonymous phone call was made to the emergency services.
FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 02
Reference is made to the incident occurred on 12 December 2012.  On 13 December 2012 investigators of the Bong County Police identified six persons who allegedly took part in the road block of Gbanga Highway after reviewing the video files of the riots recorded by the police. The LNP police officers, who had been assaulted by the mob at the scene, also recognized the attackers. Their identity was established on the basis of intelligence gathered by investigators. All the suspects were arrested and questioned by the investigators. They confessed to attending the protest but denied attacking the police officers. A prosecuting judge authorized the suspects to be charged with assault of the police officers and participation in an illegal gathering. They were held in the Bong detention center.
FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 03
Reference is made to the case reported on 12 December 2012. Police investigators established the victim of the AFL soldier attack which triggered the unrests and the roadblock on Gbanga Highway. He was identified as 25-year old Mr. Joshua Bundu, a member of Iron Gate Community living on 25 Ribbon Street in Gbanga, and working as a motorcycle taxi driver. After the assault, he was transported to the Gbanga Municipal Hospital. The medical examination revealed that he had a cut on his left shoulder and forehead. No other injuries were discovered. After delivery of first aid by the doctors, he was released from the hospital.
MEDIA NEWS OVERVIEW
Both local and nationwide media reported the unrests which occurred on 12 December 2012 in Gbanga. It was reported that the protest was targeting AFL soldiers. The media emphasized that the Iron Gate Community decided to protest on the street in order to attract the attention of the government and to make them address the behavior of AFL soldiers and their impunity over recent reported assaults against local citizens. Journalists stressed that recently there were five similar assaults reported to the police in connection to the AFL.  In none of these cases was there a suspect either established, convicted, sentenced, or punished. According to the commentators, this situation made a clear message to the society that AFL soldiers are above the law.

NARRATIVE
On 14 December 2012 at 13.00 hours, police investigators apprehended 23-year old soldier of the AFL Jacob Harrison. He was arrested in connection with the assault of a motorcycle taxi driver which led to the roadblock of Gbanga Highway. The police found him in his apartment at the 14 River Street in Gbanga. An interview of the suspect was conducted at the Police Investigations Office at 14.30 hours the same day.

The suspect, Jacob Harrison explained that two days before on 12 December 2012 at around 14.00 hours his girlfriend 19-year old Diane Garu called him on his mobile phone and asked for help. Diane told him that she hired a motorcycle taxi driver in the center of the town. Upon arrival at her house at 48Main Street  the taxi driver asked Diane to let him accompany her to the house. She refused his proposal so he got angry and told her to pay double for the ride. Diane gave him five dollars but the driver insisted he get ten. Diane refused, and called Jacob. Jacob took his car and came to the spot five minutes later. There he found his girlfriend in a verbal argument with the motorcycle taxi driver. He told her to step back and wait behind the street corner. Then he asked the motorcyclist why he had harassed his girlfriend. The driver replied that women who date  soldiers pay double for the ride. He also asked Jacob if he was going to pay for his girlfriend. The comments  got Jacob angry and he punched the attacker in the face, then he took out a knife from his jacket and cut the driver several times on his head and shoulders. As he noticed his victim lying on the street unconscious and bleeding, he threw the knife into some nearby bushes, took his girlfriend to his car and ran away from the scene. On the way to his apartment, he called the emergency services number and anonymously informed them about the injured motorcyclist and his location.

Later that day at around 14.45 hours, Diane received a phone call from her brother. He said that the motorcycle taxi driver has been taken to the hospital but his injuries were not life-threatening. He also advised her not to show up in the Iron Gate neighborhood since the motorcycle taxi drivers with many local youth were looking for her and her boyfriend in connection with the incident. He added that they had gone out to the streets and were looking for any AFL soldiers to take revenge for injuring the taxi driver.  After the hearing, a prosecuting judge authorized the suspect to be charged with assault and held in the detention center.

Two days ago, on 12 December 2012 at around 14.00 hours my girlfriend Diane Garu called me on my mobile phone and asked for help. She told me that she hired a motorcycle taxi driver in the center of the town. Upon arrival at her house at Main Street 48 the taxi driver asked Diane to let him accompany her to the house. She refused his proposal so he got angry and told her to pay double for the ride. Diane gave him five dollars but the driver insisted on ten. Diane refused and called me.

Then what happened?
Suspect
I took my car and arrived five minutes later. There I found Diane in an argument with the motorcycle taxi driver.
Police Officer
So, what did you do?

What happened next?
Suspect
Later that day at around 14.45 hours, while we were in my apartment, Diane received a phone call from her brother.
