Families of Libya mass grave victims demand justice

Aug 15, 2023

Tripoli [Libya], August 15: A photograph of MouradAllafi hangs in the family farmhouse in western Libya three years after he was found in a mass grave. His father wants his killers dead. Mohamad Allafi believes the prison terms of six years to life handed down by a military court in February to 30 people convicted of murder are not enough. And relatives of the hundreds of others who were tortured, killed and dumped in row upon row of mass graves in Tarhuna agree with him. The families who lost relatives in the mass killings say that only the death penalty can ease the pain of those who have lost children murdered "in cold blood".

Washington [US], August 15: Billionaires and social media business rivals Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk threw new online jabs at each other Sunday, with the Meta founder declaring the owner of X - formerly known as Twitter - was not treating a proposed charity cage match seriously. "I think we can all agree Elon isn't serious and it's time to move on," Zuckerberg wrote on his Threads social platform. "I offered a real date. Elon won't confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead."
