On Sunday, a devastating aviation disaster occurred in southwestern South Korea when a Jeju Air passenger plane crash-landed at Muan County Airport. The jet, carrying 181 people, slid down the runway on its belly before erupting into flames. Tragically, 179 lives were lost in the crash, with only two crew members—a male and a female—rescued alive from the wreckage.

In a heartfelt move that reflects both compassion and a commitment to restorative justice, President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has granted Executive Clemency to thirty-eight inmates across Liberia. This act of forgiveness, grounded in Chapter 6, Article 59 of the 1986 Liberian Constitution, reaffirms the administration’s dedication to fairness, rehabilitation, and humanity.
