The United Nations is worried about the violence connected to Liberia’s upcoming elections.
On Friday, in a country in West Africa, there were fights between two groups. Two people died and 20 people got hurt. One group supports the Coalition for Democratic Change party and the other group supports the Unity Party, which is against the ruling party. The United Nation’s Human Rights Office reported this information.
These deaths happened in the Foya area. There have also been episodes of violence in the Nimba, Montserrado, and Grand Cape Mount regions before the upcoming general elections on Tuesday.
Spokesperson Seif Magango said that our office has recorded eight attacks on journalists by different political people, and two of them caused injuries.
The OHCHR denounced the use of words that could be considered as hate speech.
