Report says former Liberian President Charles Taylor has developed a heart problem at his war crimes trial in The Hague.
According to the report, Mr. Taylor’s heart problem Taylor started early Monday.
The spokesman of the Taylor Family in Liberia Sando Johnson described the heart problem facing the former President as very serious.
Mr. Johnson said the news of the heart problem on the former President was revealed by the wife of Mr. Taylor in Liberia, Victoria Addison-Taylor.
According to him, the situation has created fear in the Taylor family because the former President is allegedly being denied advanced treatment.
Mr. Johnson called for the speedy intervention of the Liberian government and the international community to avoid the potential death of Mr. Taylor.
Although the claim by Mr. Johnson has not been independently confirmed, STAR Radio has obtained a report that Mr. Taylor was absent from Court Monday.
The report by the BBC World Service Trust Correspondent in The Hague said Taylor’s absence forced the Court to abruptly adjourn.
However, no reason was given for the absence of Mr. Taylor from his war crimes trial.
