George Dweh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Dweh is a Liberian politician and a member of the ethnic Krahn group operating in the LURD and the MODEL faction groups. He is also cousin to late Samuel K. Doe, a notorious Krahn that killed all his colleagues after the 1980 coup. Dweh was not known on the Liberian political scene until recently. He has terrible records of massacring innocent civilians in Monrovia and its surroundings.

Dweh was a leader of the Doe death squad. He is accused of leading the Death Squad unit to the Lutheran Church in Sinkor where civilians were seeking refuge. Dweh has also been accused of killing Johnny Nah and his pregnant wife.

Dweh served as Speaker of the National Transitional Legislative Assembly of Liberia (NTLA) from October 2003 to 14 March 2005, when he was suspended from the body after being accused of financial mismanagement and corruption.
