IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monrovia, October 23, 2023 - The Press Union of Liberia (PUL) expresses deep concern over the rising trend of partisan-driven rhetoric and highly inflammatory broadcasts in Foya, Lofa County.

In particular, our attention has been drawn to the activities of three broadcasters in Foya: Radio Tamba Taikor, Radio Makona, and Radio Diompelor.

PUL has observed that Radio Tamba Taikor, originally a community radio station, has been transformed into a platform primarily serving the interests of the Unity Party. On-air personnel associated with the station have been utilizing the radio airwaves to promote political campaigns, raising significant concerns about the Makona impartiality and objectivity of the station's content.

A competing radio station, Radio Makona, receives support from Representative Thomas Fallah, a member of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change. Additionally, Radio Diompelor, owned by Representative Fallah of the ruling regime, is accused of spreading biased information favoring the government's campaign.

Tensions between these stations resulted in complaints from local residents, which were reported to the PUL. The PUL organized a virtual conference involving executives from the three radio stations. In these discussions, all parties expressed their commitment to preserving peace in Foya and Lofa County but eventually disregarded their promise to promote social unity.

Recently, the Lofa Detachment of the Liberia National Police (LNP) has been in discussions with the three troublesome broadcasters, seeking their commitment as we approach a presidential runoff in the current election.
This situation has raised alarm within the Press Union of Liberia, as it goes against the principles of fair and unbiased journalism.

The Union emphasize the importance of media outlets maintaining their independence and impartiality, especially during this sensitive political periods. Encouraging a diverse range of voices and fostering a climate of balanced discourse is fundamental to a healthy democracy, the PUL insisted.

The Press Union of Liberia calls upon all broadcasters in Foya, Lofa County, to adhere to ethical journalism practices and uphold the principles of impartiality, accuracy, and fairness.

Responsible journalism plays a crucial role in promoting transparency, understanding, and unity within society, and we urge all media organizations to uphold these values for the greater good of our nation, the Union emphasized.

Press Union of Liberia Expresses Concern Over Freedom FM's Allegations of Political Division within the Armed Forces of Liberia

Monrovia, Liberia – October 19, 2023 – The Press Union of Liberia (PUL) has expressed deep concern regarding the recent broadcast on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, by Freedom FM. The radio station, owned by the Deputy Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), made serious accusations about political divisions within the ranks of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL).

According to Freedom FM, (20) commissioned officers within the AFL are allegedly being decommissioned and dismissed from the force outside the established standards. During an evening talk show, a host and manager at Freedom FM, Abraham Wheon claimed that Major Gen. Prince C. Johnson, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Liberia, is allegedly administering the AFL in a politically biased manner in favor opposition Leader Joseph Boakai. Wheon, urged active-duty soldiers of the AFL who did not support President Weah in the initial round of voting to switch their allegiance due to perceived inadequate leadership within the Liberian Military.

The American Government maintains a Defense Attaché in Monrovia to work with the Armed Forces of Liberia on its professionalism. The AFL was restructured after the Civil Wars and has built itself ever since as a force for good in the eye of the Liberian public.

The Press Union of Liberia finds these allegations deeply troubling and potentially damaging to the reputation and integrity of the Armed Forces of Liberia. As an organization committed to upholding the principles of responsible journalism and promoting ethical standards within the media industry, the PUL stresses the importance of accurate, fair, and unbiased reporting throughout the election process. Unsubstantiated claims and divisive narratives can undermine the cohesion and morale of our armed forces, an institution vital to our nation's security and stability.

The Press Union of Liberia calls upon all media outlets, including Freedom FM, to exercise caution and responsibility in their reporting, especially when dealing with sensitive matters involving national security and the integrity of our military forces. The PUL encourages a respectful and constructive dialogue that fosters understanding and unity among all sectors of our society.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monrovia, October 12, 2023 - In light of the 2023 Presidential & General Elections, the Press Union of Liberia underscores the paramount importance of preserving peace and upholding democratic governance in Liberia.

To this end, the Union fervently appeals to all political parties, including the Unity Party (UP) and Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), to refrain from organizing press conferences announcing election results from the polling held on Tuesday, October 10, 2023.

In an official press statement, the Press Union of Liberia emphasizes the potential consequences of such impulsive announcements, which could incite violence and disrupt the peace of the nation.

The Union firmly asserts that the National Elections Commission (NEC) must be accorded the respect it deserves as the sole authorized body designated to officially declare the results of elections conducted under its purview.

Therefore, political parties are urged to cease any press conferences that aim to declare their own results, projecting themselves as winners before the NEC's official announcement, the PUL insists.

Furthermore, the Union calls upon political leaders in Liberia to abstain from mobilizing their supporters through media platforms to declare themselves winners of the recently conducted elections.

The Press Union of Liberia indicates that media practitioners and entities are also implored to exercise utmost caution and responsibility by refraining from covering activities that possess the potential to incite unrest and undermine the stability of the nation.

Journalists and media institutions are meant to provide a platform for the public to express their views. However, the media should avoid covering politically volatile topics and events during these elections period to protect themselves from future liabilities.

Meanwhile, the Press Union of Liberia has congratulated the Liberian People for their enthusiastic participation in the elections and their commitment to exercising their right to vote. Exhibiting patience by waiting in the queues from early morning until six o'clock, demonstrated a remarkable acknowledgment of unalienable right during any Liberian election.

The Press Union of Liberia reiterates its commitment to fostering a peaceful and democratic environment throughout the electoral process. By adhering to these principles, Liberia can ensure a fair, transparent, and peaceful election, thereby safeguarding the democratic values that the nation holds dear, the PUL declares.

PUL Advocates Responsible Journalism and Calm Ahead of Elections

Monrovia, Liberia – October 3, 2023 – The Press Union of Liberia (PUL) has issued a statement to address recent remarks made by senior journalist Philipbert S. Brown, Publisher of the Hott Paper Newspaper, concerning potential unrest preceding the upcoming election on October 10th.

Mr. Brown voiced his concerns on social media platforms, particularly Facebook, suggesting the possibility of violence in the streets. He advised parents to prepare by stocking up on essential supplies such as goods, water, and medications before the polls. Additionally, he cautioned the public, emphasizing the urgency of stocking household items due to uncertain future circumstances surrounding the ensuing elections.

In response, the PUL underscores the crucial role responsible journalism has to play, both offline and online. Journalists are expected to uphold the same ethical standards on digital platforms as they do in traditional newsrooms, the Union reiterated.

While Mr. Brown's posts have garnered attention for their alarming tone, the PUL is concerned that they may incite panic among the Liberian population in the lead-up to the elections. His social media updates included statements such as, “THERE WILL BE BLOOD ON OUR STREETS; PARENTS SHOULD PURCHASE GOODS, WATER, AND MEDICATION BEFORE THE OCTOBER 10TH ELECTIONS. REGARDLESS, NO ONE WILL ACCEPT THE POLLS RESULTS.” Mr. Brown further remarked, "TO BE FOREWARNED IS TO BE FOREARMED: PRETTY SOON, YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO COME OUT OF YOUR HOUSE OR NEIGHBORHOOD. STORE DRY GOODS AND WATER NOW. TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED.”

Furthermore, the Union urges all individuals, including journalists, to exercise caution when expressing opinions and ensure that their statements, reporting, and articles are substantiated by verifiable evidence.

Emphasizing the importance of maintaining a constructive and credible conversation that serves the nation's interests and preserves its peace, the PUL insists.
