One of the many organizations in such venture is the National Youth Action Committee in Liberia (NYACL) led by the Organization for and Women and Children (ORWOCH). Addressing the media Thursday, the Executive Director for ORWOCH Mmonbaydo Joah Harrell termed the torture of Liberians and other black Africans in Libya as evil and wicked. She added: “No one shall be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The rights group wants more effort in dealing with the perpetrators of the heinous crimes, adding that they should be held accountable for their action. She says despite the emergence of these disturbing videos, the group wonders why national actors including the Government of Liberia continues to remain silent while black African young people, especially young women including the Liberian citizens continue to languish and perish in Libya.
