Monrovia - A group advocating for the establishment of a war crimes court in Liberia has published a dossier cataloguing dozens of massacres and secret killings, allegedly committed by the regime of former leader Charles Taylor.

The report alleged that Taylor's former army chief of staff general Yeaten ordered the massacre in 2002 of 175 civilians accused of sympathising with LURD rebels.

The group calling itself the Forum for the Establishment of a War Crimes Court further accused Yeaten of masterminding the killing of the deputy ministers of public works and national security, Isaac Vaye and John Yormie.

The dossier also claimed that in 2003 a bodyguard of Yeaten's fed 26 people live to lions on Taylor's farm in central Liberia.
