Ex Liberian president Charles Taylor was transferred from the Hague into British custody on October 15, 2013. According to Taylor's family he is being held in one of Britain's highest security prisons, alongside notorious murderers, terrorists, psychopaths and paedophiles. 

Senator Sando Johnson, the spokesman for Taylor family has been one of the strongest critics of the UK, speaking against Taylor's alleged prison conditions, arguing that Taylor was being denied food and water at HMP Frankland in Durham County. 

The allegations made by Johnson have been considered rubbished and or nonesense by the British authorities.

The grim about Taylor’s conditions that have circulated in Liberia appear to have come from the prisoner’s current wife, Victoria Addison Taylor. She gave interviews to foreign news organizations, asserting that her husband was being denied a blanket and subjected to daily strip searches. She was asked as to how she was getting the information in Africa, she said one of Taylor’s daughters based in the UK, Charlene, has spoken to her father once since his incarceration. 

Despite the British denials of Taylor being ill-treated, the reports have sparked angry reactions from Taylor’s supporters, including threats to attack British interests in Liberia if the humiliation did not stop. Chief Cyril Allen, former head of the pro-Taylor National Patriotic Party (NPP) questioned the rights of British nationals to enjoy full freedoms in Liberia.

“Why should they be moving about freely in our country including the interior and at the same time humiliating our traditional leader?” was Allen’s question to WADR. He said Britain should realize that despite his conviction, their former leader is not just an ordinary person. The remarks by Allen and others appear to be being taken seriously by the UK, whose Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO0 issued an updated travel advisory on November 14, noting that: 
“Former Liberian President Charles Taylor is serving a long prison sentence in the UK following his conviction by the Special Court for Sierra Leone. 

Taylor’s supporters have warned that UK travellersin Liberia may be at risk of reprisal. You should be vigilant and avoid discussing political issues”. Meanwhile, Chief Allen says he is initiating a campaign to seek Mr. Taylor’s transfer from the British jail, saying he will start his campaign by galvanizing support in the legislature in Liberia and Sierra Leone’s parliament. “An act of Sierra Leone’s Parliament created the Special Court that indicted Mr. Taylor and not any charter of the UN or Great Britain”, Chief Allen argued, saying Taylor is a prisoner of Sierra Leone and not Britain.
