Martin K. N. Kollie Demands Independent Probes Amid Rising Concerns of Impunity
Monrovia, Liberia – Dec.11, 2025: Activist Martin Kollie is calling for urgent, independent investigations into three high-profile incidents, citing growing fears of impunity in Liberia. The incidents include an alleged arson attack on the headquarters of Solidarity and Trust for A New Day (STAND), led by Chairman Mulbah K. Morlu, which occurred early Thursday morning, just ahead of a planned December 17 protest.
Kollie condemns the attack, emphasizing that dissenting voices must be protected, and urges the government to conduct a transparent probe. "No civil society or political establishment should be targeted for dissent," he stated, stressing STAND's right to peaceful protest.
At the same time, Kollie demands justice in two other cases:
- Alleged Murder: A woman accused Police Inspector General Gregory Coleman and officers of killing her son, found with bullet wounds in custody. An independent autopsy is sought.
- Alleged R**e: Suspended Minister Bryant McGill, accused of statutory r**e of a 14-year-old in August 2025, has seen delayed justice. Despite a medical report confirming r**e, Police IG Coleman has not released DNA results since October, fueling concerns of a cover-up.
"Selective justice undermines peace, stability, and national security. Justice must never be compromised," Martin Kollie said.
Meanwhile, he has called for impartial investigations to restore public trust.
