Liberia Official Faults Care Group Over FGM Petition
A judge in Liberia has jailed a local chief (named Zoe) since Tuesday for failure to produce three young women who were allegedly taken by force, detained, and initiated into the Sande Society to undergo female genital mutilation. Counsellor Swaliho Sesay represents the Liberian ministries of Justice and Internal Affairs. He tells VOA’s James Butty, the Organization for Women and Children and Community Health Care Initiative did not have standing to file a petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus for a judge to compel Chief Zoe Nora Samuel to produce the three young women.
