Threats to witnesses in the trials of accused perpetrators in the United States and Europe are
growing according to justice activists. Seven victims who have testified have been relocated in
the last six months alone.
New Narratives’ senior justice correspondent, Anthony Stephens, met one of the witnesses,
who says he now fears for his safety after the United States deported a former rebel
commander back to Liberia — a woman the witness says killed two members of his family.
