Dear Friends and supporters:
The American Libyan Freedom Alliance (ALFA) is a registered
American NGO, with a stated mission to promote democracy,
human rights, justice and accountability in Libya. Since
the inception of ALFA, its officers and members have engaged
in several outreach activities to communicate Libyans' concerns
and aspirations to public officials in the US and other
Western democracies. Although ALFA was founded two years
ago, we have cultivated many valuable friendships and gained
many supporters in the US and elsewhere.
We have held numerous functions in the past two years,
the most significant of those activities was held at Freedom
House, on June 29, 2004, the eighth anniversary of a bloody
massacre of 1200 political prisoners at Abusleem notorious
prison, outside Tripoli, Libya. On this date, ALFA presented
an eyewitness to the massacre, who proceeded to recount
the horrors of what he had witnessed. Many members of the
national/international media, and human rights organizations
attended the hearing. Although we believe that bringing
attention to crimes against humanity is essential; however,
it is more important to make criminals accountable for their
crimes.
Most recently, the Libyan regime was forced to admit to
several of his numerous crimes and to compensate the victims
of the American PAN AM 103, the French UTA, and La Belle
nightclub bombing in Berlin. However, Gadhafi has never
admitted to his crimes against the Libyan people, let alone
pay compensation to his thousands of victims. Over several
years, many of those Libyan victims have moved to the United
States, seeking shelter and refuge and have subsequently
become US citizens. Recently, some of those citizens have
filed a class action lawsuit, seeking compensation for confiscated
properties, emotional distress, and physical torture. On
behalf of the thousands of Libyan citizens, we are asking
for support from our friends and sympathizers, in seeking
justice for the many years of abuse by the tyrannical Libyan
Regime. Libyan Americans are urged to join the case by filling
the required forms, which can be sent on request. To do
so, you may contact Dr. Mohamed M. Bugaighis at info@alfa-online.net,
and we urge you to check our web site www.alfa-online.net
for updates and progress of the case.
Sincerely,
Mohamed M. Bugaighis, PhD
Chairman, American Libyan Freedom Alliance (ALFA)
