Salem Werfelli, a Libyan in exile, has written a letter of thanks to the Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations here, Ovadia Soffer, for exposing the brutality of the regime of Libyan ruler Muammar Qaddafi. Werfelli expressed his appreciation for the envoy’s statements during the recent session of the UN Human Rights Commission, listing the violations of human rights in Libya under Qaddafi. “No other country has voiced such a protest against the barbaric practices in wide use in Libya,” Werfelli wrote.
