Notă biografică
Rodney D. Sieh is one of Africa's finest investigative journalists. As publisher of Liberia's leading newspaper, Front Page Africa, Sieh's explosive reports have led to arrests, prosecutions and investigations of prominent Liberian government officials. Sentenced to 5,000 years in imprisonment for a trumped-up libel charge in 2013, Sieh's arrest and jailing triggered an international outcry and highlighted the continuing existence of criminal libel statutes in Africa where politicians use the courts to intimidate and silence the media from exposing their corruption. The sentence prompted global outrage and it took considerable pressure from journalists with The New York Times, BBC, Toronto Star, Globe & Mail and others in the international journalist rights community championing his cause to help bring about his release. Sieh's work landed him among Reporters Without Borders' Information Heroes of 2014. He fled the brutal civil war in his homeland in 1992 for exile in The Gambia. As a reporter there for both his uncle Kenneth Best's Daily Observer newspaper and the British Broadcasting Corporation, his coverage about the deaths and disappearances that followed Yahya Jammeh's coup d'état on July 22nd, 1994, forced him once again into exile to London, where he fled in 1994. He later took refuge in the United States. Journalist on Trial is his first book.
