Liberian deported as war criminal BUFFALO, N.Y., March 31 (UPI) -- A New York State resident who was allegedly a warlord during Liberia's brutal civil war in the 1990s was deported as a war criminal, authorities said. George S. Boley, who had been in an immigration detention center in Batavia, N.Y., since January 2010, was deported to the Liberian capital of Monrovia, where U.S. authorities left him Friday, The Buffalo (N.Y.) News reported. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents said they were unsure what would happen to Boley in Liberia. A U.S. immigration judge ruled Feb. 6 Boley "abandoned his lawful permanent resident status" and could be deported under both a 2008 act barring the use of child soldiers and the charge of committing "extrajudicial killings." Immigration authorities said Boley headed the Liberian Peace Council, suspected of engaging in numerous human rights abuses and war crimes against civilians, including massacring hundreds of Liberians and recruiting children as young as 10 to fight. The Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commission listed Boley in 2009 as one of eight leaders in the civil war cited as alleged war criminals and human rights violators, Liberia's 1847 Post reported. Boley, 62, had been living near Rochester since at least 2006 and had served as an administrator for Rochester city schools. After he applied for government medical benefits, federal authorities determined he was the leader of the Liberian Peace Council, the News said. Boley denied the allegations against him in a 2010 interview with the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Eugene Allman, a U.S. Homeland Security special agent who made several trips to Liberia to interview villagers, said on one trip agents who asked about the Liberian Peace Council were led to piles of human bones and skulls. "They said 'George Boley' without us ever mentioning his name," Allman said. You could see the strain on their faces.
