The transcripts of the trial of Charles Taylor, former President of Liberia. More…
Well, Perry Kamara came before the Court, and he testified here during the month of February in 2008. At line 5 of that transcript - and the transcript is no longer up. Yes, there is it. Line 5, there's a question asked of him:
"Q. Do you recall what sort of subjects would be discussed
at this time that there were no supplies coming through?
What would be the subject of their communication?
A. Yes, you know, as we all observed the process in Sierra
Leone, Mr Sankoh always - was always advised by Mr Taylor.
At any time Mr Sankoh received message from Mr Taylor we
will undertake a serious attack. The RUF will attack the
government troops. On many occasions as a radioman of the
RUF I received, I monitored, I read from the logbooks, for
example, when a place like Sierra Rutile, because Sankoh
told us that he wanted to look for a major place that he
would attack according to Mr Taylor's advice."
Let's pause there. Madam Kallon, there is reference here by King Perry to him being a radioman for the RUF. I referred to him as King Perry and I asked you about Perry Kamara. Let me start again. The person you know as Perry Kamara, do you know if he also answered the name King Perry?
