Two friends from Shariatpur, Kamal Khalifa and Atik Majhi, have been detained by human traffickers in Libya after leaving the country with dreams of going to Europe. Lured by Akash Sardar from the Lonsing area of Naria municipality, they left home about three months ago and were handed over to mafias in Libya, where they are being physically tortured and ransom is being demanded from their families.
Despite selling land and belongings to pay about 40 lakh taka to save their lives, the families have not received their release. Torture videos are being sent, and more money is constantly being demanded, causing deep despair in the families.
The victim families have strongly urged the government to rescue the two youths alive and demanded exemplary punishment for the traffickers involved.
