Former President's Aide Freed in Liberia
Liberian officials have released some protesters arrested this week for taking part in the "White Tuesday" protest. Police say the protesters were arrested for breaking security lines. Among those released is Sekou Kalasco, former aide to former Liberian President George Weah. Kalasco tells VOA's James Butty he was freed on bail but maintains he was arrested even though he never took part in the protest.
