Charles Taylor’s lead defense lawyer says his client’s testimony would be an integral part of the reconciliation process in Liberia.
Mr. Courtney Griffiths said if the Liberian government is committed to promoting truth and reconciliation, it should pay attention to Taylor’s testimony.
Former President Taylor is to give his account of the war in Sierra Leone on July 13.
Though the testimony would focus on the Sierra Leone crisis, Mr. Griffiths also encouraged all Liberians to pay attention to what Taylor has to say.
The Former Liberian President is being tried on eleven count criminal charges for allegedly supporting rebel forces in Sierra Leone from 1996 to 2002.
Meanwhile, a status conference between the defense and prosecution is scheduled to take place in The Hague on July 6.
According to a court official, the July 6 status conference would set the stage for the commencement of the Defense case on July 13
