We call upon all peoples of the world to speak out in the clearest terms to publicly condemn the incarceration of Dr Agnes Reeves Taylor, by the UK government on alleged and unsubstantiated charges of “historical war crimes relating to Liberia advanced by Civitas Maxima of Zurich, Switzerland through its subsidiary, Global Justice and Research Project (GJRP).
Dr Reeves-Taylor has never been accused of committing any crimes, war or otherwise by her home country, Liberia or any other nation, nor has she been cited as a person of interest in the Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC) testimonies or its final report submitted and accepted by the Liberian government and the international community.
A UK university professor, she has been incarcerated in a UK prison for the past year and denied bail twice even though her family met all the requirements for bail. She has never been accused of committing any crimes in her home country, Liberia or the UK having lived and worked in that country for over the 20 years.
Dr Reeves Taylor has been a model citizen, raising two children on her own while obtaining three master’s degrees and a PHD. She has an unblemished record in the UK, never receiving as much as a parking ticket. Now a University Senior Lecturer, she must be freed.
Please sign this petition to show your support for Dr Reeves Taylor and help to correct this travesty of justice,

This is a witch hunt escapade against an innocent African intellectual. Same mistake as was made with Menachem Begin of Israel and Nelson Mandela of RSA. Let Agnes go home. Her family need her.
She's innocent while the real perpetrators run around freely in various top government jobs. That woman is being held injustly because she left Taylor a long time ago when she adviced him and he didn't listen to her. She left, she did not partake in any killing or inhumane activities. She's being held on because if association but she left while the main perpetrators are in top jobs destroying our country further.
I fully condemn the incarceration of Dr. Agnes Reeves Taylor. Dr. Taylor should not be held accountable nor responsible for former President Charles Taylor’s attrocities. She should not be used as a SCAPE GOAT nor bear the consequences for a war that she did not start nor had any control over.
Charges are trumped up by political opponents hoping to influence events in Liberia.
The use of "compensated witnesses" as prosecution tool to gain conviction at all cost is an injustice that this petition should draw public attention to. Her Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service are paying informants and also providing some with "new abodes" to snitch on Dr. Reeves-Taylor. Dr. Reeves-Taylor would not be granted bail because one of the prosecution argument is that she would influence the outcome of the ongoing presidential elections in favour of Senator George Weah. But here, it is the use of "corrupted" witnesses to gain conviction that is an abomination.
Please set Dr Agnes Reeves Taylor FREE! Her record and achievements living in the UK speaks for her. Set her FREE!!!
The ware crimes prosecutor's should be held accountable for the 13 innocent Ministers that was murdered by the Samuel K Doe and its foreign supporters, thay should also be held accountable for the unmarked grave and the disappearance of other government officials and perment citizens, all of which Foreign governments is aware of.

Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. No one should be denied their basic human rights!
