Anti-George Weah protesters arrested in Liberia

About 15 people have been arrested in Liberia’s capital, Monrovia, for defying a government order not to take to the streets to protest against former international football star and President George Weah.

The group insisted on breaking through police lines to assemble, despite the fact that no permit had been issued to stage a protest, police added.

The group apparently did not know that organisers had temporarily halted plans to stage a protest against the rising cost of living and alleged corruption in government.
