[quote]A shocking scene occurred in Tripoli on Saturday when a gun was pointed at Sky News after a woman tried to tell foreign journalists about being raped and tortured by Libyan officials.
A visibly very distressed woman burst into the breakfast room of the hotel where we are staying and attempted to speak out about an ordeal at the hands of Gaddafi supporters.
As correspondents here in Tripoli under the supervision of the Libyan government, we are not allowed to move around freely.
However, it has become apparent to those in the city that there are a clutch of journalists in two hotels.
We were having breakfast in our hotel when the woman broke in and said she'd been picked up at a checkpoint in the city.
She claimed she had been held for two days, and that she had been raped and tortured.
The woman showed marks on her body which she said she had received as a result of beatings by the people who were holding her, Gaddafi supporters.
She showed marks on her legs and on her wrists, which she suggested came from handcuffs.
In a state of great distress, she said she had suffered this beating because she was from Benghazi, the city where the uprising began in the east of the country.
As journalists tried to speak to her, things got out of control and the police minders waded in, trying to physically shut her up and stop her talking.
Hers is not the voice they want heard in this country. In the commotion a gun was pointed towards the Sky News team in an attempt to stop them filming.
A team from another news organisation had their camera smashed in front of them.
After about 15 minutes the woman was dragged outside the hotel and put into a waiting car.
As I tried to get in the way, a minder put his hand over the woman's mouth to stop her talking.
She was driven away at speed and we have no idea where she was taken. Her story could not be immediately verified, but the scene provided glimpse of the atmosphere in the city.
Government officials initially said they knew nothing about this woman, although another official later added the woman's mental health would be assessed.[/quote]

Most are probably too scared to stand up or don't have a leader to look up to.
:wtc:
Someone assassinate Gaddafi.
Right fucking now.
And his supporters.
Not the (probably) large number of people who [b]really[/b] are just following orders and afraid of the consequences if they quit. Not their fault.
But the people who [i]actually[/i] support this shit? Who are carrying out the tortures and murders, and enjoying it?
I'm not going to hesitate to put them on the same level as Nazis.

Doesn't make it suddenly okay to rape and torture somebody
What a brave woman to do such a thing. We need to kill Gaddafi and his supporters in one swift movement.

:v:
I wasn't saying it was okay. I'm talking about the rest of the civilians. This was probably done by his security forces.
Anyone remember that video of Saddam getting hanged?
Edit Gaddafi's face on top.
Shit like this makes my blood [i]boil[/i].
What the fuck :(
fucking disgusting
reminds me of the stories my mum told me about the iranian revolution
we need bigger bombers

He needs to be rehabilitated and given job training. Killing is never justifiable.

goddamn that's annoying

remember, cool guys don't look at explosions

I went to post a chastising reply...
And then I saw it was Explosions. Carry on.
no he's totally right
gaddafi should be rehabilitated and sent to work in a mcdonalds, killing is a stupid punishment, it's not even really a punishment

No I'm calling you out on this one. Stop fucking derailing threads with shit that wasn't even relevant. Now we are probably going to end up with 9 pages of people threadshitting over the death penalty.
I don't think this thread title needed quotation marks, to be honest

I'm not the one who mentioned a noose.

You say that like it's a justification, they should have their backs broken for this shit.
[QUOTE=bravehat;28832806]You say that like it's a justification, they should have their backs broken for this shit.[/QUOTE]
But they do, and its human nature. Again, too scared=civilians. Why does everyone think they'd have balls or something :v:
Seriously, if any of us were in Tripoli, right now, in these guys situation where even saying one word against Qaddafi gets you raped, killed or what have you. Would really still do it anyway? Yes I'm calling people out because this shit is annoying. I'm not justifying it, I'm explaining rationale as to why nothing has happened.
I'm sorry but being a scared civilian suddenly justifies rape?
What the fuck kinda drugs are you taking?

If Nato wanted gaddafi dead right now, he would be.
I wonder why this has not happened already. Probably SINISTER POLITICAL REEEASOOONS.

Sadly overkill bombardments aren't on the table since we generally dislike bombing populated areas.
