Liberians are raising fresh questions about transparency after human rights lawyer Tiawan Gongloe revealed that police still haven’t released the full DNA and investigative report that cleared former Deputy Minister Bryant McGill in the alleged rape of a 14‑year‑old girl. Police say DNA testing abroad and cellphone data exonerated McGill, but the survivor’s family has yet to see the evidence behind that decision. Civil society groups warn that without openness, public trust in the justice system — especially in sexual violence cases — continues to erode. For many, this case has become a test of whether Liberia protects survivors or shields the powerful.
