New York, NY – Rev. Al Sharpton, President and founder of National Action Network
(NAN), met today with Libyan Ambassador Elmahdi Elmajerbi and gained
approval to lead a fact-finding mission to Libya
before Christmas with prominent clergy in the wake of reports that
African immigrants are being auctioned off as slaves.
According to Rev. Sharpton, it is morally reprehensible that the world has ignored the
existence of slavery and he did a similar fact
finding tour to fight slavery in Sudan 2001 and he publicly stated that
“slavery is wrong no matter who the slave master or the slave is. He
said it wasn’t about Muslims vs. Christians. “It’s about right versus
wrong.”
