More than 50 Liberians escaped a trafficking compound hidden in plain sight — and now they fear the people who tortured and deceived them may walk free. These survivors, some held for nearly a year, starved, beaten, and forced to lure their own family members into the trap, bravely told prosecutors everything. Their testimony should have delivered justice. Instead, the case is stalled, food support was cut, and the victims say a bribe is moving through the system to free the accused. Their hope is fading, but their message is clear: “In Liberia, justice is for sale — and we are the ones paying the price.”
