- Charles McArthur Emmanuel
Charles McArthur Emmanuel is a U.S. citizen and the son of Charles Taylor, former President of Liberia.[" [http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/09/30/taylor.torture.trial.ap/index.html?iref=mpstoryview Ex-prisoner: Taylor's son laughed at torture] ." "CNN". September 30, 2008.] Emmanuel was sometimes referred to as "Charles "Chuckie" Taylor, Jr."][Weimar, Carrie. " [http://www.sptimes.com/2007/02/06/State/Liberian_torture_case.shtml Liberian torture case traces back to Orlando] ." "St. Petersburg Times". February 6, 2007.] ]Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Emmanuel lived much of his life in Orlando, Florida with his mother, a homemaker, and step-father, a welder. His house, in a neighborhood described by Carrie Weimar of the "St. Petersburg Times" as "middle class," was nine miles away from Universal Studios.
In 2006 Emmanuel was placed under arrest at Miami International Airport after flying from Trinidad to Miami; he carried a passport that he received after falsifying his father's name on the application. The U.S. government Department of Justice Domestic Security Section accused Emmanuel of participating in torture in Liberia; Emmanuel's trial will be the first case where a U.S. citizen is prosecuted under a 1994 law that prohibits U.S. citizens from participating in torture outside of the U.S.
Elise Keppler, a counsel for the International Justice Program of Human Rights Watch, says that the "Demon Forces" "did things like beating people to death, burying them alive, rape - the most horrible kind of war crimes."
