前总统George Weah周四率领民主变革大会（Congress for Democratic Change）的高级官员前往蒙罗维亚中央监狱，探视前副总统Jewel Howard-Taylor，此举吸引了数百名支持者聚集在蒙罗维亚市中心，并引发其安保团队与国家警察之间的短暂冲突，随后一名杰出前议员介入平息了局势。\n\nWeah在探视后未发表公开讲话。他在安保人员的护送下乘车离开监狱，随后返回位于Rehab的住所。\n\nHoward-Taylor目前因涉嫌一起可卡因案件而被关押。\n\n聚集在监狱外的支持者对The Liberian Investigator表示，如果Weah在2029年重返办公室，他们希望他采取更强硬的立场，首先要清算那些他们认为损害了他第一届政府利益的盟友。\n\n“我要对George Weah说的第一件事是，任何在他政府中工作并作恶的人，他都应该将其绳之以法，即使那是他最好的朋友，他也必须将其绳之以法，”支持者Momodu Watson说。他表示，Weah的一些亲密同僚曾就普通利比里亚人面临的困境对其进行了误导。\n\n这一抱怨呼应了Weah在2018至2024年任期内一直面临的批评，即他不愿罢免或惩处被指控有不当行为或表现不佳的亲密盟友。Watson表示，未来的Weah政府还应调查现政府官员，并起诉那些有确凿证据的人。\n\n只透露了名字的支援者Patricia表示，她曾投票支持变革，但现在已经看不到这种变革了。

原文原文 / Original Text

Former President George Weah led senior officials of the Congress for Democratic Change to Monrovia Central Prison on Thursday to visit former Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor, drawing hundreds of supporters into central Monrovia and a brief confrontation between his security detail and state police that a former lawmaker stepped in to calm.

Weah did not speak publicly after the visit. He stayed inside his convoy as security officers escorted him from the prison, and he left for his residence in Rehab.

Howard-Taylor is being held in connection with a cocaine case.

Supporters who gathered outside the prison told The Liberian Investigator they want a harder line from Weah if he returns to office in 2029, starting with the allies they say damaged his first administration.

"The first thing I want to tell George Weah is that anybody that works in his government and is doing bad, he should bring them to book, even if it's his best friends, he should bring them to book," said Momodu Watson, a supporter, who said some of Weah's close associates misled him about the conditions ordinary Liberians faced.

The complaint tracks a criticism that followed Weah through his 2018 to 2024 term, that he was unwilling to dismiss or discipline close allies accused of misconduct or poor performance. Watson said a future Weah administration should also investigate officials of the current government and prosecute those against whom credible evidence is established.

Patricia, a supporter who gave only her first name, said she voted for change and no longer sees it.
