A photograph of Mourad Allafi hangs in the family farmhouse in western Libya three years after he was found in a mass grave. 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. Many families in Libya are still reeling from the years of violence and injustice that followed the toppling and killing in 2011 of Moamer Kadhafi. The body of Mourad Allafi was one of 350 to be discovered. Abou Kleich said the families' three main demands are "finding the missing, pursuing and prosecuting the criminals, and reparations".
