In Liberia, the eviction of a mosque in Monrovia’s bustling Red Light community has triggered intense public outcry and renewed concerns about religious tensions. The incident has drawn widespread attention after reports emerged that an Imam was assaulted during the operation.

The confrontation began last week when court officers attempted to enforce a ruling linked to an ongoing land dispute involving the mosque. According to eyewitnesses, some community members resisted the enforcement, leading to a rapid escalation.

Armed police were subsequently deployed to carry out the eviction, a move that many residents and Muslim groups say was excessive and disrespectful to the sanctity of their place of worship.

The episode has deepened grievances within the Muslim community, with calls for transparency, accountability, and a peaceful resolution to the dispute. Community leaders are urging authorities to investigate the alleged assault and ensure that future enforcement actions are handled with greater sensitivity.
