Thomas Weh Syen
Thomas Weh Syen (died August 1981) was a Liberian soldier and politician. He was a leading member of the group of enlisted men that overthrow the country's government in an April 1980 military coup d'état, and accordingly he became one of the leaders of the new military junta, the People's Redemption Council. In the wake of the coup d'état, he took the title of major general in the Armed Forces of Liberia and became the co-chairman of the PRC; as a result, he was the immediate deputy of Commander-in-Chief Samuel Doe and the Vice Head of State.〔"Gen. Weh Syen Chides Students". ''The Spectrum'' 1981-06-24: 1/8.〕 From the earliest days of the PRC, Doe and Syen clashed; testimony before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2008 revealed that their disagreements began during the coup itself, when Weh Syen and Doe forcibly disagreed about the disposal of money that had been stolen from the home of the newly murdered President William R. Tolbert, Jr.〔(TRC Hearing: Late Prez Tolbert's Daughter Adds More ), ''The Liberian Journal'', 2008-06-11. Accessed 2012-06-09.〕 While a member of the PRC, he was partly responsible for educational affairs,〔 but his time on the Council was short-lived. After allegedly attempting to overthrow Doe in a second coup,〔Mutwol, Julius. ''Peace Agreements and Civil Wars in Africa''. Amherst: Cambria, 2009, 51.〕 five PRC members, including Weh Syen, were shot in August 1981 on Doe's orders.〔"(Liberia: Moving Up in the Ranks )", ''Time'' 1981-09-14. Accessed 2012-06-09.〕 Weh Syen was tried in a court-martial at the Temple of Justice in Monrovia. He was replaced as Vice Head of State by PRC Speaker J. Nicholas Podier.〔"Weh-Syen Weeps?" ''The Express'' 1981-08-12: 1/8.〕
He was the father of a son, Thomas Weh Syen, Jr., who died soon after his father — on 24 December 1981, the 5½-year-old boy was hit by a car while he was crossing a street near his home.〔"Tragedy Hits Weh Syen's Family Again". ''Daily Observer'' 1982-01-12: 12.〕
