Libya: Armed Militias Kill Filipino for Being Non-Muslim

press release

Cairo: — The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI) denounces the armed militias' brutal act of kidnapping and subsequently beheading a Filipino citizen, on July 15, for being a non-Muslim.

An armed militia group in Libya stopped three persons (Libyan, Pakistani, and Filipino) in a vehicle, singled out the Filipino one, and abducted him for allegedly being a non-Muslim. Afterwards, they contacted the company, where the Filipino works at, to negotiate with it demanding a ransom of $160,000. On July 20, the militia re-contacted the company asking it to check one of the hospitals, where the Filipino's corpse was found beheaded and in a state of decomposition. This shows that the kidnappers killed him during the process of negotiating the ransom.
