Liberia: War-Time 'Women Rights Hero' Laid To Rest -Forty of 50-Plus Children, Wives Attend Funeral

During Liberia's drawn-out war supposedly for civil and human rights, "freedom fighters" belonging to the nation's six vicious warring factors deliberately trampled upon the rights of and/or murder thousands of civilians and  captured combatants.
