The Ministry of Justice has categorically dismissed social media reports suggesting that the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Liberia, Cllr. Oswald Tweh, has distanced himself from a recent advisory reminding citizens of the legal procedures required for public protests and demonstrations.
In a statement issued Sunday, the Ministry clarified that the May 1, 2025, release which criticized an April 30 protest held without proper authorization was sanctioned with the full knowledge and approval of Minister Tweh, who is currently on a private visit to the United States.
“The Minister remains fully committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that all expressions of civil liberties are conducted within the legal framework,” the Ministry emphasized. “Any suggestion to the contrary is false and a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and undermine lawful governance.”
The Ministry reiterated its respect for the right to peaceful assembly but stressed that such activities must comply with legal requirements designed to safeguard national security and public order.
Authorities are urging citizens to verify information through official channels and refrain from spreading unverified reports that could create confusion or incite public tension.
