    [PHOTO GALLERY] Liberians reacted with anger to the acquittal by a Dutch court of businessman Guus van Kouwenhoven in early March. This photo gallery shows people who speak out about his release. "I am a hard evidence to prove he is not innocent to charges."
    JFrancis, 50, driver:" We need a government to ask for the case to be transfered to Liberia, that man needs a real court case.”
    James, 22, College student: "It's quite sad to see a man who brought us backward economically be set free, he need to come to Liberia and face the real court here…not in The Netherlands.”

    Nadia, 34, Manager: "The court has made a mockery of themselves. How can you prosecute a man without evidence and where can you get evidence except in Liberia where he committed the act.
    They should start that case all over.”
