The Student Unification Party (SUP) and family of Christopher Sivili who was mercilessly flogged by supporters of the ruling CDC in Monrovia have launched a SOS call intended to solicit funds to enable him seek advanced medical treatment.
“Our comrades who were brutalized and continue to suffer cruel pain are in critical conditions. Since we took them to local clinics for medical attention, they all have not been responding to treatment, specifically Christopher Sivili who is not talking at all and has been unconscious for days in severe pain,” SUP said in a dispatched.
“Therefore, SUP is calling on well-meaning Liberians in the country and diaspora to kindly assist in ensuring that all our comrades are given the best medical attention,” the group pleaded.
It can be recalled while Liberia was bent on celebrating its 175th Independence, several members of SUP were being brutalized thereby sustaining serious and minor bodily injuries while several others were humiliated.
The student-based group had organized a peacefully announced protest dubbed “Fix the Country” but that protest was greeted by resistance from thugs believed to be sent by members of the ruling party.
According to the report, SUP gathered on the morning of Tuesday, July 26, 2022 before the US Embassy near Monrovia to proceed to the Centennial Memorial Pavilion, where the indoor program of Independence Day was taking place.
Video footage on social media also shows a member of the student group, Christopher “Walter Sisulu” Sivili, stripped naked and dragged mercilessly; something which has drawn the attention of several Liberians including Civil Society actors.
