Press Statement
Issued by the Concerned Citizens Movement – Liberia
The Concerned Citizens Movement wishes to inform the international community that Mr. Julius Jeh, a respected and independent Liberian journalist, is safe and continues his vital work in critical and investigative reporting.
Mr. Jeh remains deeply committed to upholding the principles of truth, transparency, and accountability in Liberia. His journalism has served as a voice for ordinary citizens and a cornerstone of democratic discourse in the country.
We are, however, increasingly concerned about the safety and freedom of independent journalists amid reports of intimidation and political pressure under the current Unity Party administration. The Movement wishes to make it unequivocally clear that any attempt to harass, threaten, or harm Mr. Julius Jeh will be strongly resisted by citizens and civil society actors who value press freedom and human rights.
We call upon international partners, human rights organizations, and media advocacy groups to remain vigilant and to stand in solidarity with independent journalists in Liberia who continue to operate under challenging circumstances.
Julius had similar critical voice in the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and George Manneh Weah administration than, why Joseph Nyumah Boakai administration wants to silence his critical voice? We are concerned.
Julius Jeh’s life matters.
Protecting journalists is essential to safeguarding democracy and freedom of expression in Liberia.
Issued by:
The Concerned Citizens Movement to protect Julius Jeh.
