The family of a key prosecution witness in the war crimes trial of former Liberian President Charles Taylor say they have received death threats.
Vamba Sherif told the BBC that unknown men had entered the family home's compound in Monrovia, shouting insults and saying they would all be killed.
His brother Varmuyan Sherif has told Mr Taylor's trial that the former leader had close ties to Sierra Leone rebels.
Mr Taylor has denied charges he ordered the rebels' atrocities.
Vamba Sherif said the men fled before the police arrived.
He said that a few days later, a leaflet was left in the yard, repeating the death threats.
