last update March 30
It seems worth re-posting here this initial appeal, as run by Mathaba, to make safe a prominent captive of the new government of Free Libya. The UN Secretary General has already been alerted (or an attempt was made). I will follow up, in this space, with any news that emerges (not necessarily while it's new).
Help us to save the life of Dr. Abuzaid Omar Dorda
Posted: 2011/10/29
From: Mathaba
His life is in grave danger. Persons like Dr Dorda are important for any future prospects of peace in Libya, so now the Abdelhakim Belhaj’s Tripoli brigade are trying to kill him.
We are urging international community, humanitarian organizations, UN and CoE to promptly demand the release and guaranties for the life of this respected man, whose human rights are grossly violated, by the ‘new democratic’ Libyan regime.
He was thrown out of a window and one of his doctors told his family that both of his legs were broken and he has been badly beaten and tortured for the past month.
“Mr. Dorda survived a murder attempt last night, 25October, 2011, at the hands of his guards in the building where he was arrested. He was thrown off the second floor leading to several broken bones and other serious injuries. Authorities were forced to move Dorda to Maitiga hospital in Tripoli where as of now he is being held under extremely poor conditions. Dorda is not receiving the proper treatment duly and legally accorded a political prisoner, let alone that required under the terms of human rights and other international treaties.” [source]Lizzie Phelan, an independent journalist from Britain, who was reporting from Libya during the NATO bombing, said:
“The Libyan media have tried to say that Dr Abuzaid Dorda, one of the most well respected members of Libyan politics in recent history, tried to commit suicide. Everybody knows how defiant and strong Dr Dorda is and that this is far from the truth. The reality is he was thrown out of a window and one of his doctors told his family that both of his legs were broken and he has been badly beaten and tortured for the past month. The last person to see him was a woman from Human Rights Watch called Susan a couple of weeks ago who said he was fine! (She has since left the country). The family has had no contact him since he was detained and they have no way of reaching him at a time when it is clear that now Abdelhakim Belhaj’s Tripoli brigade are trying to kill him. A figure like Dr Dorda is important for any future prospects of peace in Libya and the chances of a backlash are heightened if he is martyred. I have received a reliable report that the “rebels” tried to assassinate respected brother Dr Abuzaid Dorda, a senior member of the Libyan government who is held in high esteem by the Libyan people. Dr Dorda will not submit to the torture that they have tried to inflict (both of his legs have been broken and worse) and give over the information they desperately want from him. He used to be an ambassador to the United Nations himself, but now we can expect the United Nations and all other instiutions of “international law” look on while a senior figure of a sovereign state is threatened with assassination by their stooges?“Want to help us in this campaign to save the life of Dr. Abuzaid Omar Dorda??? Send letters, emails, phone calls to the addresses listed at Libya S.O.S. or open and spread this PDF doc
Update March 29: I never did help spread the word beyond this, but someone did, and got someone beyond those who sympathize with the loyalists, those concerned only with "humans," to take up Dorda's case. Human Rights Watch, very anti-Gaddafi like the rest of the juggernaut, has said (on Feb. 14) he needs lawyers, medical care, and no more torture. He also needs to be either released or harged with something. I suspect it'll be the latter, and bullshit. The man is 67 years old. They intend to have him die in custody, and no exact reason is needed.
He told HRW that he wasn't thrown through a window, but jumped, after being threatened with violence, because jumping out a window requires a little explaining. Maybe the other marks are where he fell down the stairs, or bumped his head, clumsy him. That was all under a "small militia," but not the Belhaj/LIFG-led Tripoli Military Council had him and he said he felt safer.
Also, see below for a torturer-apologist demonization screed against poor Mr.Dorda. I draw the NTC's attention to the specific crimes this commentator lays out (with no evidence provided). These, he feels, justify any and all punishments Mr. Dorda (not Dr. he says) might suffer.
- "Abuzaid Durda was responsible for the killing and torturing thousands defenseless Libyans"
- "he stole billions of dollars"
- He's a "low life scum bag drunken fool"
- He was "the first to start kissing [Gaddafi's] ass [in 1969]"
U r nothing but a Qaddafi whore who want to save a criminal and an associate of the worst dictator North African has known. Abuzaid Durda was responsible for the killing and torturing thousands defenseless Libyans, and he stole billions of dollars. In fact ur apeal is full of lies and misinformation. For one thing he is no doctor, he is doctor of BS, the only degree he has is BA in socialogy from the University of Libya in Benghazi during the 1960s. He was well known as a low life scum bag drunken fool. His father was a police man during the King Idress time. After the the Qaddafi stole the power, he was the first to start kissing his ass, and Qaddafi like such low life whores who were willing to do his dirty deeds. Al Muttaba is a terrorist group run by the revolutionary committes, andunder the supervision of the external security of the terrorist regime of Qaddafi Al Yahudi. I hope they hang him in the Myrtar Square together with all Qaddafi agents who committed atrocities. Now Qaddafi Al Yahudi is in hell , I hope the rest of his agents follow him. Long live Libya free and independent and hell is the home of all Qaddafi pimps and whores.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a contrary comment. Those are rare around here.
DeleteI'm no exprt on Dorda, never heard of him in any other context than a prisoner, rendered harmless, beaten, tortured, and defenstrated. That'sper Mathaba, but you don't deny these cruel and criminal things, just applaud them. Shame on you.
"responsible for the killing and torturing thousands defenseless Libyans"
Details?
"he is no doctor"
Only a BA huh? So you think you have him as a liar. Could be.
"he stole billions of dollars"
Details? Or just part of the general "Gaddafi ripped us off" notion? "He lived in a fairly nice house, while we starved with only free health care and universal education and subsidized food, housing, and gas..."
"a low life scum bag drunken fool"
Pedophile too?
"terrorist regime"
Please specify the probably bogus terrorism claims you actually believe.
"first to start kissing ass"
What's wrong with working with a regime for the people borne in a brilliant bloodless coup against a corrupt (pedophile I hear) king of the current flag? I know who it was bad for -oil companies. Then the demonization, false charges of blowing up planes and shooting lady cops kept rolling in, answered with sanctions, bombing, assassinations attempts, riling up Islamist insurgencies, recognizing inhuman lynch mobs as the legitimate government of Libya. Now we have people being locked up for daring to not support the lynch mobs, tortured widely, often to death, Tawergha and its people still being wiped off the Earth based on rumors, al Qaeda "police" patrolling Sirte with heavy weapons and ski masks, and a legacy of a year now of rebel atrocities, mostly against loyalists and random black men ("mercenaries"), re-branded Gaddafi atrocities (largely by "mercenaries")against likely fictitious "orinary rebular Libyans," for which people like Mr. Dorda are made to pay.
See where I'm coming from? This pisses me off something fierce.
And you over there are blinded and confused with hate, hate that serves others' geopolitical agendas. And here you are acting like the gatekeeper of hell, eager to push more people in based on stuff you've heard around. Shame on you.

Adam,
DeleteYour blast against the Anonymous rant is what I'm looking for. Seriously, I enjoyed it immensely.
On another matter, Amnesty International recently released a report that refers to "55" named civilian deaths at the hands of NATO. It's entitled "Libya: the Forgotten Victims of NATO's Strikes."
7700 to maybe 40,000 bombs and missiles blasted Libya--sources vary--and only 55 named/identified civilians deaths. Boy, those NATO guys are good.
The Amnesty/Amnesia report forgets to mention the likely tens of thousands of Libyan soldiers killed by NATO in its illegal war.
The spin on deaths caused by NATO is clearly worth an essay.

Al-Libi takes pains to fix Qaddafi in Muslim consciousness as a cruel tyrant, who worked against his own people and spilled the blood of innocents. As proof, Al-Libi cites Qaddafi’s brutal massacre of Islamic prisoners in Abu Salim Prison in 1996 , which he deems one of the worst crimes of this generation.

The Director of the Office of Investigations in the Office of the Attorney General Siddiq pictures, Sunday, a decision of the Ministry of Justice to release the temporary health of a number of political prisoners; because of their health.
The pictures, in a statement to the leader, that the decision to release came after the Attorney General's Office demanding the release of prisoners of the Ministry of Justice to follow up the conditions of a number of prisoners of intelligence officers in the former regime, and consider, including AbuZayd Dorda, denying that Abdullah Senoussi Within the released group.
The prisoners said they were in "critical" health conditions and had long been treated inside the prison, noting that their health condition required more careful follow-up and special circumstances that required them to be moved to another place away from prison.
The pictures stressed that the temporary health release "is not heresy" in the Penal Code, indicating that it was officially issued by the Minister of Justice, circulated to the relevant authorities.
It is noteworthy that a number of former regime officials were put in prison for a number of charges, following the February 2011 revolution, most notably AbuZayd Dorda, external security officer, secretary of the General People's Committee and Baghdadi Mohammadi, and Abdullah al-Sunoussi, head of intelligence.

ReplyDelete@ Anon: I f you docome back, pick a screen name (see here). This post isn't the best spot to argue the finer points of Jamahiriya policies and associated grievances. This is for Dr./Mr. Dorda, who might now be dead.
Whatever his past crimes, and those of so many others, it's illegal and wrong to torture and endlessly punish someone in crude ways like these. It's not just us "apologists" saying so. Human Rights Watch, very anti-Gaddafi like the rest of the juggernaut, has said he needs lawyers, medical care, and no more torture. If you have something better than they do, a great argument why he should keep being slowly sent to "hell," feel free to try and explain it here.
There's a bit more on the arrest back in October here, more than in the link above from Lynch.
ReplyDeleteGaddafi loyalist injured in custody of revolutionaries at Uprooted Palestinians, 29 October 2011 by Mary Beth Sheridan and Colum Lynch.
Adel Khalifa Dorda, his son-in-law, appealed to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council president to intercede with Libyan authorities to protect the former official. “Mr. Dorda survived a murder attempt . . . at the hands of his guards,” the younger Dorda wrote.
Ian Martin, the United Nations’ special representative for Libya, has instructed his staff to look into the claim.
The elder Dorda was taken to Mitiga military hospital in Tripoli, doctors said. Sadiq Turki, the militiaman in charge of the hospital, declined to allow a reporter to see him on Thursday, saying: “This is confidential.”
Doctors who treated Dorda said he had a fractured left hip and internal bleeding around the injury, and was being kept in the intensive-care unit. “His general condition is stable,” said Faraj al-Farjani, a surgeon.
Revolutionaries based at the Al-Jawda Macaroni Factory on the outskirts of Tripoli, where Dorda was injured, gave varying accounts of how he had plunged to the concrete pavement.
One, Marwan Ardawi, said that Dorda had been moved continually from house to house because of his importance. He was taken to the factory in the suburb of Ein Zara on Tuesday, and plummeted from the window at 5 p.m. during a break in his interrogation, Ardawi said.
“We heard him screaming. He fell from the second floor,” he said. Ardawi said Dorda apparently was trying to escape.
The factory is guarded by armed revolutionaries and surrounded by a concrete wall about 10 feet high topped with barbed wire, so it isn’t clear how Dorda might have fled even if he had survived the 30-foot jump unscathed. The revolutionaries, who are from the al-Rahebat brigade in the western mountains of Libya but have set up camp in Tripoli, showed a reporter the window but not the room where Dorda had been held.
Another revolutionary, who identified himself only as Saeed, told a reporter: “He tried to suicide.”
Turki, the hospital director, expressed contempt for Dorda. “He’s the one who gave orders to kill and rape in Tripoli,” he said. Adel Dorda insisted that his father-in-law had never committed atrocities.
I find no reported activity of Mr Ian Martin head of UNSMIL into the case subsequently.

The Attorney General, Abdel-Aziz Abdel-Hamid, has announced that the trials of senior Libyan officials will start on Tuesday, 5June.
First in the dock will be Abu Zaid Omar Dorda who was General Secretary of the People’s Committee (i.e Prime Minister) between October 1990 and January 1994. He was later the Libyan ambassador to the United Nations, from 1997 to 2003. Following that he was Libya’s foreign intelligence chief. He was arrested in Tripoli last September.
Others expected to appear in court in the following few days are Abdurrahman Al-Sayed, who ended up as head of Qaddafi’s army and was captured last August at his farm outside Tripoli;
Abdulati Obeidi who served as prime minister from 1977 to 1979, then as nominal head of state from 1979 to 1981 and most recently as Qaddafi’s final foreign minister after Musa Kusa defected in March last year;
and Mohammed Al-Zway, the close friend of Qaddafi from schooldays in Sebha who later became Libya’s ambassador to the UK and who in 2010 was chosen by the late dictator to be Secretary-General of his General People’s Congress.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-18330584
Abu Zeid Omar Dorda, who was the head of external intelligence, appeared in the Tripoli court behind a metal cage.
He denied all six charges, which included ordering the fatal shooting of protesters last year.
The case has been adjourned until 26 June as his lawyer asked for more time to review the case....
Mr Dorda is charged with "mobilising security forces to fire bullets at the heads and chests of civilians" and "preventing, through the use of force and intimidation, the staging of peaceful protests", the Libya's state-run news agency Wal reports.
He is also charged with arming his ethnic group with the purpose of inciting civil strife during Libya's seven-month rebellion last year.
Mr Dorda arrived in court wearing a blue prison uniform - looking slightly weary and using crutches to walk, our correspondent says.
Facebook photo here,uploaded June 17,with, on the right, the NTC commander from the fake camel bone find at Abu Salim.
Dorda looks quite chipper there, despite defenestration injuries.

ReplyDeleteThe trial of Mr. Bouzid Dorda, was adjourned [like we reported] on Tuesday after his lawyer requested more time to review his client's case.
"We did not complete the review of the case due to the volume of the file," which is more than 500-pages thick, said Daw al-Mansuri, Dorda's lawyer.
"This needs sufficient time in order to put together a serious defence."
The trial was adjourned until 10 July at the defence team's request.
Mr. Dorda, who needs the support of crutches to walk after breaking his hip [in jail] by NTC criminials , made no statements in the NTC's court room.

I preferred not to talk so that I don't ruin my lawyers defense which until now I have no idea what it is because until now I didn't get to meet him, and since the day I was caught I met with the previous justice minister who is head of the human rights council and asked him that who ever comes to investigate with me comes from the government itself but since that day I was moved from militia to militia to militia interrogated by child after child after child and once I was interrogated for seven hours - a man in my medical situation and gone through what I've gone through.
And when I was interrogated I was told that you couldn't find a thing on me so where are you coming up with all of these accusations which I am completely innocent from and why is it from EVERY position and ministry I've held the only witness you brought against me was someone I've fired for inappropriate behaviour years ago.

Some of the media in the United States are reporting that the trial of Abdel Ati al-Obeidi and Mohammed Belkasem al-Zwai which recently opened and was adjourned in Tripoli involved an accusation of their "squandering $2.7 billion in public money meant to compensate families of those killed in the Lockerbie bombing."
Examples, which seem to be based on a report from The Associated Press news agency, can be found here and here and here.
This is, of course, wrong.
The accusation is not that the officials diverted or embezzled money intended for Lockerbie relatives, but that they were involved in negotiating the payment that was made to the relatives.

DeleteLibya's rebel administration has said that it signed an apology for the Gaddafi regime's role in IRA attacks and the Lockerbie bombing under pressure from the British government, and that the document is the result of "misunderstanding".
After initially denying that the document existed, the revolutionaries' governing council acknowledged that its chairman, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, had indeed signed an apology on behalf of the Libyan people for Gaddafi's provision of semtex used in IRA bombings and for the blowing up of the Pan Am flight in 1988. It also promised compensation.
Council officials privately said that the Foreign Office pressed Jalil to invite a British lawyer, Jason McCue, head of the Libya Victims Initiative, to Benghazi. McCue arrived saying that he was seeking an "unequivocal apology" in the name of the Libyan people and $10m compensation for each death in IRA attacks. All of his demands were met by Jalil.
Council officials said that they regarded McCue as working with a team of British diplomats in Benghazi, led by the UK's ambassador to Rome, Christopher Prentice.
Prentice has declined to talk to the press. A council spokesman, Essam Gheriani, said that Jalil had had little choice but to sign as part of the rebel administration's attempts to win diplomatic recognition and gain access to desperately needed funds frozen overseas.

ReplyDeleteMonday, Feb. 22, 2010 The American business delegates arrived just as most Europeans were banned from visiting. On Feb. 16, Gaddafi canceled all Libyan visas for citizens of the 25 Shengen countries in Europe, which share common immigration procedures. The decree was the latest round in a long and personal disagreement with Switzerland, which began in July 2008

In March 2010, due to the intervention of Tony Blair, Saif Qaddafi (Muammar’s son) announced the release of Belhadj and 233 other members of the LIFG from Abu Selim as part of a reconciliation of the Qaddafi government with the LIFG and the Muslim Brotherhood.
The mediator in this effort, which began in 2005, was the Libyan, Muslim Brotherhood-linked, Qatari-based cleric Ali al-Sallabi.
Less than a year after they were released, Belhadj and the other members of the LIFG became the core of the opposition to Qaddafi.
According to the Wall Street Journal, bin Qumu began training jihadists in Derna in April of 2011.

"I feel proud that I was the reason for bringing of Abdullah Sannusi [head of the Libyan Intelligence Service in Libyan Jamahiriya], Baghdadi Mahmudi [Secretary of the General People's Committee in Libyan Jamahiriya]
and Ayman Abdel-Hamid al-Saih [ambassador of Libyan Jamahiriya in Marocco]
because I was commissioned to prepare the records and documents for those criminals [for occupational regime all patriots are criminals].
Indeed, worked diligently for months to do so. The result was impressive for the prosecutors in the states where these remnants [he call this way people who resist] reside.
I contacted the citizens who have problems and who have been mistreated by those.
Indeed, I went to them in their homes and opened files delineating their complaints to give the matter the legal shape.
After introducing them to the Public Prosecution in the brotherly and friendly countries. I was successful, praise to Allah. I also completed preparing the file of the mercenaries who were brought by Fouad Riani [he is patriot and Green activist in Egipt, regime want to kill him]
to kill the rebels and cause the abortion revolution.
I will not rest until I bring all thugs of the former regime to Libya which is free. I say here that I using my private car in my movements to search for proofs to convict all those who fled.
I persuade citizens to lodge complaints against the suspects.
Actually I succeeded and the list is long and all of them will appears in front of me.
Their fate is either the death penalty or life imprisonment.
Long live for Libya, free and independent. I am behind you, thugs and time will not be long."

He was arrested a month after his newspaper published a list of 84 judges allegedly involved in corruption.
His wife Masara al-Ghussain declared a hunger strike in his support on Sunday, after al-Khattabi was transferred to a hospital on 4 April due to his deteriorating health.
"All he did was to publish a list of judges," his wife told Amnesty International.

Transfers of military materiel in support of the Qadhafi forces
104. Since its previous report, the Panel has continued to follow up on several cases, but has identified only attempts to transfer materiel in support of the Qadhafi forces.
The Panel has been investigating allegations of a possible transfer of
weapons to the Qadhafi regime in 2011.
In this regard, the Panel wrote to the Libyan authorities in November 2012 to enquire about two officers allegedly involved in military procurement outside Libya.
It is crucial to locate the officers, but no response has yet been received.
105. Regarding the issue of foreign fighters,

informed the Panel that a number of Eastern European fighters
had been sentenced by a military tribunal for acting as mercenaries
in support of the previous regime during the revolution

ReplyDeleteThe case highlights one of the central challenges – the extent to which police, investigators and prosecutors are in a position to gather and use evidence of past abuses.

He has spent time in Libya gathering forensic evidence relating to crimes, some of which has been submitted to the ICC.

On September 19, Libyan authorities started
the pre-trial stage of domestic proceedings
against one of Gaddafi’s sons, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi,
his intelligence chief, Abdullah Sanussi,
and 36 other senior Gaddafi-era officials.
Al-Senussi, who faces the death penalty if convicted, is rumored to have been tortured
on his arrival in Tripoli and to have attempted suicide while in Hudba al-Gassi,
but these allegations were denied by the man responsible for keeping him behind bars,
Khalid al-Sharif,

Libya has suffered widespread bloodletting in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution.
Over 1,200 people have been killed nationwide in the last two years, victims of revenge,
power clashes and spiraling crime.

Impunity was a serious problem. The scarcely functioning criminal courts struggled to try abusive Qadhafi-era officials, but generally skirted the pressing problem of abuses during the year by post-Qadhafi militias, in part because of militia intimidation of judges. When authorities did attempt to conduct trials, threats and acts of violence often influenced and curtailed judicial proceedings. Aside from adopting but not yet implementing legislation to provide a new legal framework and sponsoring dialogues on its implementation throughout the country, the government did not take concrete steps by year's end to advance transitional justice.
There were rare investigations and still fewer prosecutions of those believed to have committed abuses.

2013 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices – Libya
Sun May 10, 2015
ReplyDeleteMuammar Gaddafi's son Saadi who fled abroad during Libya's 2011 revolution and was extradited from Niger last year appeared in a Tripoli court on Sunday at the start of a trial
on murder charges but the judge adjourned his case until July.
"The trial of Saadi Gaddafi has been adjourned today by the court of south Tripoli until July 19," the chief of the investigation office of the attorney-general, Sadiq Al-Sour, told Reuters. "The defence lawyers had asked for more time to read the case file and prepare for a plea."
Saadi Gaddafi faces charges of killing a football player and unlawful imprisonment.
Since the 2011 fall of Gaddafi, Libya has slipped deeper into chaos

Tripoli, 26 April 2014:
Saadi Qaddafi will not be appearing in court tomorrow, when his brother Saif and 37 regime-era officials will stand trial.
“He will not be in court because he is still under investigation,” Head of the Investigations Department for the Attorney General’s Office and its spokesman,
Sadiq Al-Sour told the Libya Herald.
He said that because Saadi was facing a special criminal case, investigations were expected to take a long time.
This criminal case is understood to be the killing of footballer and coach Bashir Al-Rayani in 2006.

Intisar al-Agili, a Benghazi representative of the ruling National Transitional Council, told Reuters the trial had been postponed to February 15. "The delay is based on the requests of the 15-lawyer defence team to review the evidence... and on the requests of some detainees who want to hire their own lawyers," she said

The NTC has also appointed top officials of the justice ministry and the general prosecutor's office to help prepare the case under the leadership of Ahmed Al Jehani, its envoy to the ICC.On April 30, Libya is expected to challenge the jurisdiction of the ICC, which has called for Seif Al Islam's "immediate" transfer to the Hague.The North African nation must argue before ICC judges why Qadhafi's son should be put in the dock in Libya and prove that the country is capable of conducting such a trial.
"These steps show that Libya is fully committed and capable of trying Seif Al Islam Qadhafi
and [former intelligence chief] Abdullah Senussi in Libya," Kib said.
Tripoli has been at loggerheads with the Hague-based ICC over who has the right to bring former regime figures to justice.

Eye on the General National Congress, June 15 - June 30, Sadiq al-Sour’s appointment as Attorney General
ReplyDeleteGNC Member and Official Spokesman Omar Humaidan noted that in regards to the first item,
the GNC has issued a decree appointing Sadiq al-Sour to the post of Attorney General and must take the legal oath before the GNC.
http://www.ignc.net.ly/the-thirty-seventh-report/#more-708
The GNC held its last session following the Supreme Constitutional Court‘s ruling declaring Ahmed Maiteeq’s election “unconstitutional.” The GNC affirmed its commitment to uphold the Court ruling.
The Supreme Judicial Council was surprised by the GNC’s decree to dismiss
Attorney General Abdulgader Jumaa Radwan
and appoint Sadiq al-Sour as Chief Prosecutor to the Office of the Attorney General.
The Supreme Judicial Council emphasized that the GNC decree encroaches on the judiciary, whose independence is guaranteed in the Constitutional Declaration.
Attorney General Abdulqader Radwan has written to both the presidents of both Supreme Court and the Judges High Council requesting them to take a clear stand against the interference of the General National Congress (GNC) in the judiciary.
Radwan referred to the GNC session of 10 June in which he, Radwan was dismissed and Sadiq Al-Sour appointed in his place, saying he considers this to be GNC obstruction of the authority of judiciary authority. Al-Sour has thus far declined to accept the appointment.
“It was just a desperate reaction against the Supreme Court ruling on the illegality of Maetig’s election,” Congressman Abdullah Ghmati told Libya Herald.
19th June, 2014
In its 11th meeting of 2014, held on Monday, the Council discussed the issue of the recent dismissal of Abdulqader Radwan and the appointment of Sadiq Al-Sour as his replacement.
Sour, for his part,turned down the appointment citing his desire to respect the rule of law and proper processes in place for such appointments. Radwan wrote a letter to the Council asking it
to take a clear stand against the actions of the GNC. Following Tuesday’s meeting the Council released a statement saying that the jurisdiction of the appointment of Attorney General
belongs to the Supreme Judicial Council and is based on a decision made by the Council,
a decision based on very specific articles in the laws regarding the judicial system.
Furthermore, the Council stated that it considers the GNC’s actions
regarding the General Attorney an infringement of the legislative authority on the judicial authority.

Defendants held in Misrata transferred to Tripoli for court hearing
By Libya Herald staff.17 November 2014:
The eight Qaddafi-regime era officials being held in Misrata were transferred to Tripoli to appear in court yesterday as part of a slow-moving trial that includes Qaddafi’s son Saif Al-Islam.
There were 31 defendants in the dock at Tripoli Appeals Court in Hadba Prison yesterday, including the eight from Misrata,
the Head of the Investigations department at the Attorney General’s office,
Sadiq Al-Sour told the Libya Herald.
Another defendant was transferred from a prison facility at Mitiga Airport, he said.
There had been no previous mention of one of the defendants being detained in Mitiga, and it is not yet clear who this individual was.

December 13, 3:47 PM By Libya Herald staff. Tripoli, 13 December 2014: Ahead of tomorrow’s court hearing in the trial of Saif Al-Islam Qaddafi
and 31 regime-era officials,
the Minister of Justice in the Tripoli-based administration of Omar Al-Hassi
has accused Zintan officials of scuppering efforts for Saif's attendance via video-link.
“I and the whole cabinet have been looking to execute justice and have Saif under the authority of the courts,” Mustafa Al-Glaib told the Libya Herald.
ReplyDeleteTripoli, 12 January 2015:
The long-running postponement saga of the Tripoli trial of top regime figures continued yesterday when the latest hearing was opened and adjourned until 25 January.The accused included Saif Al-Islam Qaddafi
and 36 other senior officials of the former regime,
including the once-feared former security chief Abdullah Senussi.
Last year they appeared seven times in the special court room in Habda prison where they are all confined, with the exception of Saif Islam. On each occasion the hearings were put back. In the main, the delays were requested by defence lawyers who wished more time to prepare their cases.
However since fighting broke out in August, a number of defence lawyers has failed to turn up and been fined LD 50 by the court. There have also been problems gathering both prosecution and defence witnesses.
Last year Saif Islam appeared in the courtroom via a video link from Zintan where he is being held. Yesterday, as at the two previous hearings, there was no video feed to bring the man who was once Qaddafi’s heir apparent into the court room. As before, technical problems were cited, though it is assumed that since they were ejected from theTripoli and their stronghold at the now-destroyed international airport, the Zintanis are refusing to take part in the proceedings.
The case against the accused opened in 2012. They are variously accused of genocide, killing of unarmed civilians, abuses of power, human rights abuses, employing mercenaries and encouraging rape as a weapon of war.
If found guilty many of the defendants face the death penalty.

DeleteClinton emails reveal how West had a plan b for Gaddafi
Behind the scenes of 2011 Libya's bombing campaign. Hillary Clinton's close ally in his private emails to then Secretary of State have been leaked to the press. They reveal how the UK and France were struggling to get a larger piece of the Libyan cake. Britain is using intelligence to dictate the actions of both the Libyan rebels and the Gaddafi regime - one email said. Diplomats maintained contact with the embattled government to protect British positions in case the unrest didn't end in a change of power. Plus, they were in talks with Gaddafi's son Saif in case he takes over power from his father. The UK also teamed up with France - according to another email - in order to establish a semi-autonomous zone in the East, basically encouraging the country's split following Gaddafi's fall. The idea came from Nicolas Sarkozy's advisers. The reason - the brand-new Libyan government failed to appropriately reward French firms with contracts. But who's the source? Sidney Blumenthal - former aide to President Bill Clinton. He's said to be on the Clinton Foundation payroll. Blumenthal was also advised US firms who were seeking Libyan contracts. Hillary Clinton wanted to bring him to the State Department back in 2009, but President Obama's aides prevented the appointment.

On July 31, 2013, the Misrata Appeals Court convicted Ahmed Ibrahim and Walid Dabnoon for crimes committed during Libya’s 2011 uprising, including murder and kidnapping, and sentenced them to death by firing squad. Lawyers for Ibrahim, a former Gaddafi-era official, and Dabnoon, a volunteer fighter in 2011 with pro-Gaddafi forces, told Human Rights Watch they were not able to meet with their clients privately or to question key witnesses. Ibrahim and Dabnoon appealed the conviction on September 22 to set in motion the process for a Supreme Court review of the death sentences.
“These tainted sentences contradict Libya’s commitment to uphold international fair trial standards,” said Joe Stork, acting Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “Given the number of people now on death row, and the general state of disarray in Libya’s justice system, Libya should impose an immediate moratorium on capital punishment.”

But the international community — and particularly those countries
that participated in the NATO-led air campaign — has also failed to make good on its repeated promises to help Libyans rebuild their country.
The U.N. Security Council authorized military intervention in Libya in the name
of the "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine, and therefore has a special responsibility to address grave ongoing crimes, including crimes against humanity and mass unlawful killings.
And yet despite its own resolution pledging to remain "seized" of the situation
in Libya, it has tragically failed to do so. To send an unambiguous signal,
it should add Libyan officials and militia leaders responsible for serious human rights abuses to the U.N. sanctions list, as envisioned in U.N. Security Council Resolution 1970.

DeleteAfter the interview, on May 8, a senior government official told Human Rights Watch that the authorities would release the eighty-six members of the Muslim Brotherhood “in the coming weeks.”
ReplyDeleteIn August, Seif al-Islam al-Qadhafi told al-Jazeera that the brotherhood members were among the 131 political prisoners slated for release. “We will witness the release of prisoners from groups which no one would have thought would be pardoned, such as the Muslim Brotherhood and other jihadist groups,” he said.83
On October 9, 2005, Libya’s Supreme Court granted the brotherhood members a retrial—apparently a compromise between government officials who had urged their release and those who demanded they stay.84 The first session took place on November 8 in front of what a media report called a “special court”
on the grounds of the Police Academy in Tripoli, where the People’s Court used to convene.85 The presiding judge postponed the hearing until November 28 after a request by the defense.
As of January 10, 2006, he had postponed the trial three more times.86 In Human Rights Watch’s view, the authorities should immediately release the Muslim Brotherhood members or, if there is evidence that they used or planned to use violence, grant them a prompt and fair trial with international observers.

DeleteAt least 40 men were being held inside, according to family members
of the detainees.
Many of these men were arrested during night raids on their
houses by armed units soon after Tripoli was liberated by rebel forces in
late August, they said.
The jailers are a brigade of fighters whose commander is Hakim Belhaj,
a former Guantanamo detainee whose military prowess helped free Tripoli.
Guards present on Tuesday wouldn't say how many men were held inside.
However, they and many family members said the detainees were being
treated with a modicum of respect: The men have been allowed family
visits, are fed twice a day and are allowed exercise.
Several protesters conceded that their relatives held positions within
Gadhafi's security apparatus. What remained unclear to them was why they
were arrested, what evidence classified them as security threats, and who
signed an order for them to be picked up.

Judicial System and Transitional Justice
Libya’s justice system suffered serious setbacks.
Militias attacked judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and witnesses, causing the closure of courts and prosecutors’ offices in Benghazi, Derna, Sirte, and Sebha, and a near breakdown of the justice system.

In total, 23 of the 37 defendants were in court.
Seven are being held in the city of Misrata to the east of Tripoli,
and as with Saif “security reasons” were given for not bringing them to Tripoli.
The other six were not publicly accounted for, though one defence lawyer told reporters that four were believed to be on bail and not to have been given notice
of the hearing.
One of those is said to have “left the country” for medical treatment.
Prison officials, who are said to answer to the defence ministry rather than the justice ministry, refused to allow relatives, some lawyers and some journalists inside for the hearing, without giving a reason.
They also refused to admit Hanan Saleh, the local representative of Human Rights Watch (HRW), although she had previously been promised access
by the chief prosecutor, Siddiq al-Sur, she said.
“They assured me that it would be an open session,” she said.
Mr Senussi’s secretary, Hamid Ohaida, complained that his client had been previously cleared and then re-arrested without explanation.
Dorda is being tried with 36 other senior officials from the former government
Gripping the bars of the cage holding 28 defendants in a Tripoli Courtroom on Wednesday,
former head of the Libyan external intelligence agency Abuzeid Dorda
pulled himself to a standing position.
Both his legs were broken in a fall whilst in custody in 2011 and he cannot stand unaided.
“I deny all charges,” he began, in an indistinct voice.
He was handed a microphone that did not work,
then continued: “The charges are fabricated and false and,
as I said in the previous session, they are outrageous and I reject all of them.
It was not clear why six defendants, including former Prime Minister Baghdadi Mahmoudi, were not present.
Four further missing defendants are not currently detained but, al-Sour said,
apart from one now confined to a psychiatric hospital, were expected to be present for the verdict.

Mary Fitzgerald was introduced to us with a series of Islamist whitewash pieces in the Irish Times in 2006.
For some reason, the Irish Times decided to print a long series of bland, pious whitewashes by Fitzgerald of Islam, Islamic history, Islamic teaching, Islamic clerics and Islamic organisations.
Just as they do not understand the neo-cons, so the Irish Times reader does not understand the jihad. And this bland, politically-correct spin will keep them that way.

ReplyDeleteThe FIDH, which is directly implicated in launching the war on Libya, has also received direct funding, in the form of grants, from the National Endowment for Democracy for its programs in Africa. In 2010, a NED grant of $140,186 (U.S.) was one of the latest amounts given to the FIDH for its work in Africa. [2] The NED was also one of the first signatories, along with the Libyan League for Human Rights (LLHR) and U.N. Watch, demanding international intervention against the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. [3]
According to the General-Secretary of the LLHR, Dr. Sliman Bouchuiguir, the claims about the massacres in Benghazi could not be validated by the LLHR when he was challenged for proof. When asked how a group of 70 non-governmental organizations in Geneva could support the LLHR’s claims on Geneva, Dr. Buchuiguir has answered that a network of close relationships was the basis.

In Benghazi, at least two battalions of soldiers joined the protesters
demanding an end to Khadafy's 42-year reign, witnesses said.
"They are now saying that they have overpowered the (Khadafy's) Praetorian Guard and that they have joined the people's revolt,"

The deaths came after scores were killed on Saturday.

The Misrata Association of Rights Activists, established in mid-April 2011, monitors and documents violations of human rights in peacetime and in war.
“Given the extremely challenging situation that Misrata found itself in last spring, with the city under siege, and with communication almost non-existent, it was difficult to achieve all this work”
says Mr Omar Abulifa, chairman of the association, “yet as soon as the city was liberated great progress was achieved.”
The Association has also worked in the field of human rights education and awareness against violations, and has since linked with several external organizations,
including The International Federation for Human Rights,
which contributed to trainings and documentation forums.
The hard work of the Misrata Association of Rights Activists was also recognised by the Attorney General of the International Criminal Court (ICC) when he visited the city last year.

We know Operation Zero Footprint was the covert transfer of weapons from the U.S
to the Libyan “rebels”. We also know the operation avoided the concerns
with congressional funding, and potential for public scrutiny, through financing by the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
We also know that officials within the government of Qatar served as the intermediaries for the actual transfer of the weapons, thereby removing the footprint of the U.S. intervention.
As the uprising began, military councils formed in cities across the country.
In Misrata, the Misratan Military Council (MMC) emerged at the end of February
2011 to prepare the defence of the city. It was led by individuals with military
experience—either officers who had defected from the National Army or those
who came out of retirement to join the council. The MMC served as the central
military authority and was linked to the local civilian committees running
the city, which later became known as the local National Transitional Council
(local NTC).10
Yet the MMC did not control the brigades or serve any command function.
Rather, it facilitated communication between brigades by establishing radio control rooms,
which soon became a central intelligence repository.
The MMC was also instrumental in organizing weapon and ammunition
deliveries from Benghazi.11
Brigades would travel to Benghazi to purchase weapons but the delivery of those weapons to Misrata was usually organized by the MMC.
Later in the war, the MMC also organized weapon and ammunition purchases from beyond Libya’s borders to augment brigades’ independent efforts (UNSC, 2012a, p. 26).

NATO allies knew of the dangerous jihadi elements operating in Benghazi before the 2011 intervention began, according to Noman Benotman, president of the British-based Quilliam Foundation, a think tank dedicated to combating Islamic extremism.
Mr. Benotman also was a leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group but left the organization prior to the 2011 revolution.
“A lot of jihadists that had been locked up by the regime were released after the revolution started. They picked up many of the guns that were coming into the country and fought,
but they were not fighting for democracy — they were fighting their own revolution,
trying to build a state based on a vicious, violent, radical, Islamic ideology.

tate notes that Azzouz "was sent to Libya in 2011 by al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri
to build a fighting force there, and mobilized approximately 200 fighters." Azzouz "is considered a key operative capable of training al Qaeda recruits in a variety of skills," such as building improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
On an individual basis, it is a certainty that some former LIFG members are fighting
with the rebels. One former LIFG fighter, Khalid al-Tagdi, was killed on March 2 in Brega while fighting against regime forces.[8]
Similarly, in mid-April, another senior LIFG military commander,
Abdelmonem Mukhtar, known as Ourwa, was killed after he was ambushed by Qadhafi forces on the road between Ajdabiya and Brega.
Mukhtar had been imprisoned in Iran until the end of 2010
and returned to Libya when the uprisings began where he was made commander
of the 160-strong Omar al-Mukhtar rebel battalion.

Al-Hayah has learned in London that the Libyan revolutionaries lost two days ago a prominent leader of the "jihadists" who fell in an ambush laid by Al-Qadhafi's forces on the road between Ajdabiyah and Al-Burayqah.
A source knowledgeable of developments in the field said that Urwah -- a senior commander in the Libyan Fighting Islamic Group that was implicated in more than one attempt to assassinate Col Al-Qadhafi in the 90s -- was killed when a group of revolutionaries fell in an ambush to the west of Ajdabiyah.
Urwah returned to Libya when the revolution against the Al-Qadhafi regime began in February. He had been held in Iran for seven years. The Iranians released him,
together with a large number of prisoners belonging to Al-Qa'ida and other jihadic organizations. They were allowed to travel to any country they wished.

When I checked in hours after the fall of Tripoli, Muammar Gaddafi propaganda posters still hung in the lobby. Rebels warned us there might be snipers inside the building.
Instead I found four terrified staff members cowering under a desk.

===========================
New York-based Human Rights Watch said Sunday that the evidence it has collected
so far "strongly suggests that (Moammar Gadhafi's) government forces went on a spate of arbitrary killing as Tripoli was falling."
So far, there have been no specific allegations of atrocities carried out by rebel fighters, though human rights groups are continuing to investigate some unsolved cases.
Reporters for The Associated Press have witnessed several episodes of rebels mistreating detainees or sub-Saharan Africans suspected of being hired Gadhafi guns, including an incident where about a dozen black men were detained and some were punched.
Council spokesman Abdel-Hafiz Ghoga denied Ping's claims that rebels were responsible for such killings.
"These allegations have been made during the early days of the revolution," he said.
"This never took place."He added: "If happened, it will be the Gadhafi forces.
Until now, we keeping finding mass graves of the newly liberated cities."

Nissar Abu-Baha was carrying camouflage body armour. “This,” he said, “was worn by one of the black fighters. I shot him in the head. Now it is mine.” He said it was obvious to Libyans that the African fighters were foreigners and not black Libyans, of which there are many.

Plea for no-fly zone
Dabbashi urged the international community to impose a no-fly zone over Libya to prevent mercenaries, weapons and other supplies from reaching Gaddafi and his security forces.
He said the Libyan diplomats were urging the International Criminal Court,
the Netherlands-based body, to investigate possible crimes against humanity
in the Libyan context.
Dabbashi’s comments came just hours after Ahmed Elgazir, a human-rights researcher
at the Libyan News Centre (LNC) in Geneva, Switzerland, told Al Jazeera that security forces were “massacring” protesters in Tripoli.
Elgazir said the LNC received a call for help from a woman “witnessing the massacre in progress who called on a satellite phone”.

The Libyan uprising began on February 15, 2011. By February 22, the UN Human Rights Chief Navi Pillay claimed that two hundred and fifty people had been killed in Libya, “although the actual numbers are difficult to verify.”
Nonetheless, Pillay pointed to “widespread and systematic attacks against the civilian population” which “may amount to crimes against humanity.” Pillay channeled the Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN from Libya, Ibrahim Dabbashi, who had defected to the rebellion and claimed, “Qaddafi had started the genocide against the Libyan people.”
Very soon world leaders used the two concepts interchangeably, “genocide” and “crimes against humanity.” These concepts created a mood that Qaddafi’s forces were either already indiscriminately killing vast numbers of people, or that they were poised for a massacre of Rwanda proportions.

Bouchuiguir’s petition was designed to tick all the necessary boxes of the R2P criteria.
It reported that Libyan leader Gaddafi was deliberately killing peaceful protestors and innocent bystanders. He was using snipers to fire on Libyans at random, using helicopter gunships and fighter jets to attack, and even firing artillery shells into the crowd.
The petition was where we first saw the oft-repeated line that the Gaddafi regime was employing foreign mercenaries against his own people.

I saw three black people being brought down from the vehicle in front of us. The three were beaten by several thuwwar ; two hit the black men with axes on their head and all over their body. Two of them fell on the ground and were no longer moving; I think they died. I saw the third raise his hand, and it was chopped off [with the axe]. Our bus drove off before I could see what happened to him later, but I am sure he was killed too... (p 85)
The thuwwar came to our bus, asking our nationalities. They said: ‘Any Chadians?
Anyone from Niger?’ We said that we were all Sudanese, and had Ids to show them. Only one Sudanese youth didn’t have any identification and was taken down.
The Libyan driver managed to convince the thuwwar that he knew the boy, who has lived in Libya for a long time, and vouched that he was not a mercenary.
I don’t know what happened to people in the third bus, as we drove away.

26. Military Forces: The Qadhafi Government’s military was comprised of an army, an air force and a navy. In 2004, the armed forces were believed to have 116,000 active personnel.[1] In recent years, the regular armed forces had reportedly been marginalized and not involved in internal security operations, although Military Intelligence held formidable sway.[2] Whilst there was a hierarchy within the army, other factors such as tribal membership and known loyalty to the Revolution appeared to play an important role in the level of responsibility accorded to individuals within the military.
ReplyDelete27. The Kataeb (brigades) were increasingly at the forefront of internal security. Each Katiba (individual brigade) had a name bearing a measure of political significance, such as the name of its commander. For example, the 32nd Reinforced Brigade was known as the Khamis Brigade was named after one of Colonel Qadhafi’s sons. Individual Katiba were said to number up to 3,000 men and were armed with heavy weaponry. Membership in the Qadhafi brigades was based on loyalty and family or tribal ties, with a division of personnel instituted so as to ensure loyalty by means of implicit threats to members of the family or tribe of any person who may be suspected of disloyalty. In general, it is difficult to ascertain, how and why a given Katiba was organized and dissolved and under whose command it was at any given time.
The 32nd (Khamis) Reinforced Brigade, headed by Khamis Qadhafi, the son of Muammar Qadhafi, was trained for repelling external threats.[3] Unlike other brigades, this brigade was equipped as a small army, and included ground forces, Special Forces, artillery units, Grad missiles units, airborne units, in addition to the intelligence units. The Commission was informed that the soldiers of this Brigade had special privileges not available to other military units, such as access to cars and their own recreation facilities, and received three times the salary of a soldier in the regular army.[4] The 32nd (Khamis)

The exact serviceable size of the Libyan air force is difficult to establish, although I’m sure my ex-colleagues down the road have got the figure nailed down by now, its larger than the Yugoslav-Serbia forces at the time of Bosnia and Kosovo, but very few aircraft are service able and only one or two capable of night or all-weather operations.
At least some of about 10 air bases have multiple runways and hardened aircraft shelters, we don’t need to rely on military intelligence.
Go on google© earth and you can see the Libyan air-fields with all the runways and the hardened shelters, very straightforward.
However, while the air-force is unlikely to present a great deal of threat to modern fighters the Libyan air-force also deploys an unknown number of surface to air missiles both static and serviceable and they were never neutralised in Bosnia, and they were never neutralised in Iraq until the country was overrun. So there is a potential threat which has to be dealt with one way or the other.

U.S. tanker aircraft refueled European aircraft on the great majority of missions against Gaddafi’s forces. The Europeans have tanker aircraft, but not enough to support a 24/7 air offensive averaging, by NATO count, around 100 missions a day, some 50 of them strike sorties.

Ten days into the uprising in Benghazi, Libya, the United Nations’ Human Rights Council established the International Commission of Inquiry on Libya.
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of the Commission was to “investigate all alleged violations of international human rights law in Libya.” The broad agenda was to establish the facts of the violations and crimes and to take such actions as to hold the identified perpetrators accountable. On June 15, the Commission presented its first report to the Council. This report was provisional, since the conflict was still ongoing and access to the country was minimal.
The June report was no more conclusive than the work of the human rights non-governmental organizations (such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch). In some instances, the work of investigators for these NGOs (such as Donatella Rovera of Amnesty) was of higher quality than that of the Commission.
Due to the uncompleted war and then the unsettled security state in the country in its aftermath, the Commission did not return to the field till October 2011, and did not begin any real investigation before December 2011.
On March 2, 2012, the Commission finally produced a two hundred-page document that was presented to the Human Rights Council in Geneva. Little fanfare greeted this report’s publication, and the HRC’s deliberation on it was equally restrained.
Nonetheless, the report is fairly revelatory, making two important points: first, that all sides on the ground committed war crimes with no mention at all of a potential genocide conducted by the Qaddafi forces; second, that there remains a distinct lack of clarity regarding potential NATO war crimes.
Not enough can be made of these two points. They strongly infer that the rush to a NATO “humanitarian intervention” might have been made on exaggerated evidence, and that NATO’s own military intervention might have been less than “humanitarian” in its effects.
The Libyan uprising began on February 15, 2011. By February 22, the UN Human Rights Chief Navi Pillay claimed that two hundred and fifty people had been killed in Libya, “although the actual numbers are difficult to verify.” Nonetheless, Pillay pointed to “widespread and systematic attacks against the civilian population” which “may amount to crimes against humanity.” Pillay channeled the Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN from Libya, Ibrahim Dabbashi, who had defected to the rebellion and claimed, “Qaddafi had started the genocide against the Libyan people.”
Very soon world leaders used the two concepts interchangeably, “genocide” and “crimes against humanity.” These concepts created a mood that Qaddafi’s forces were either already indiscriminately killing vast numbers of people, or that they were poised for a massacre of Rwanda proportions.
There is no mention of genocide in the Report, and none of any organized civilian massacre.
This is significant because UN Resolution 1973, which authorized the NATO war, was premised on “the widespread and systematic attacks currently taking place in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya
against the civilian population” which “may amount to crimes against humanity.”
There was no mention in Resolution 1973 of the disproportionate violence of the thuwar against the pro-Qaddafi population (already reported by al-jazeera by February 19),
a fact that might have given pause to the UN as it allowed NATO to enter the conflict on the rebels’ behalf.
NATO’s partisan bombardment allowed the rebels to seize the country faster than they might have had in a more protracted war, but it also allowed them carte blanche to continue with their own crimes against humanity.
To the Commission, the attacks against Tawerghans during the war “constitute a war crime”
and those that have taken place since “violate international human rights law” and a “crime against humanity.”

On limited occasions, the Commission confirmed civilian casualties and found targets that showed no evidence of military utility. The Commission was unable to draw conclusions
in such instances on the basis of the information provided by NATO and recommends further investigations.

While the army claims that it is targeting the city in order to rid it of pro-Gaddafi forces, many who have been injured or killed are children, women and the elderly. Meanwhile, reports continue to emerge about troops using unconventional weapons in the city.
A local activist told RT that the army is preventing media from entering Bani Walid simply because they fear the press might report their “crimes and terrible deeds.”
“I can confirm that pro-government militias used internationally prohibited weapons.
They used phosphorus bombs and nerve gas,” Afaf Yusef, an activist from Bani Walid, told RT. “We have documented all this in videos – we recorded the missiles they used and the white phosphorus raining down from these missiles.”
Many people died without being wounded or shot but as a result of gases, he said.
“The whole world needs to see who they are targeting,” he added. “Are they really Gaddafi's men? Are the children, women and old men killed, Gaddafi's men?”

ReplyDeleteAs cited in my Insurge investigation, the vast bulk of the media in Iraq were embedded with coalition military forces, and therefore provided a very selective view of the conflict that sanitised the US-UK role.
http://www.nafeezahmed.com/2015/05/scientific-responsibility-in-counting.html
In April I released an exclusive investigation via my new crowdfunded journalism project, INSURGE INTELLIGENCE, into the well-known NGO, Iraq Body Count (IBC), and how its techniques and methods have been co-opted by the Western foreign policy establishment to systematically undercount civilian casualties from conflicts
in Iraq, Afghanistan and Colombia - and potentially in other conflicts around the world involving US interests.
I was inspired to undertake the investigation after my Middle East Eye story, "Unworthy victims: Western wars have killed four million Muslims since 1990," elicited some critical responses on social media from various people associated with and/or sympathetic to Iraq Body Count.
The more I looked into the matter, the more perturbed I became by IBC's odd relationships to US and European government agencies, questionable public statements, and pathological obsession with defending IBC methodologies without any regard for meaningful scientific or academic integrity. Central to the controversy is the work of Prof. Michael Spagat, an economist at Royal Holloway University affiliated to IBC, who has published a number of peer-reviewed papers purporting to show that a 2006 Lancet survey implying an Iraq death toll of more than a million people to date, was in fact false, fraudulent, and unreliable.

an independent body which would investigate human rights crimes in Libya by all sides since 2012
ReplyDeleteIn a joint call for action, 13 national, regional and international human rights organisations including five from Libya, have called on the UN to support the creation of an independent body which would investigate human rights crimes in Libya by all sides since 2012.
They say it is the only way to ensure “accountability, justice, truth and reparation”.
The groups say that the efforts of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHCR) to address the situation in Libya through technical assistance no longer adequately reflectes the gravity of the situation.

That’s a lot of people, and it certainly made the world stand up and take notice.
The problem is that the morgues, hard at work tallying up the dead, are finding death tolls in the hundreds, not the tens of thousands. Bodies are missing, to be sure, but the Red Cross is reporting 1,000 missing, with 3,000 as the absolute most that are unaccounted for.
The rebels are now pinning their hopes on “mass graves” scattered across the country,
but many of these have already been figured into the tolls by the Red Cross.
The bodies in the mass graves number in the dozens, at best the hundreds.
Was the whole “genocide” a lie? Its too soon to say for sure, but the rebel government’s initially claim of 50,000 seems to be at the very least a dramatic overstatement, and even the more modest “25,000-30,000″ their officials are reporting today shows a decided lack of evidence.
In the end even 25,000 may be a factor of ten too many, and with the rebels’ own killings starting up in earnest they may find the bodycount from the Gadhafi regime’s reign of terror much easier to catch than anyone expected.
http://news.antiwar.com/2011/09/16/was-libyas-death-toll-a-dramatic-overstatement/
Just in February, the ICC estimated the number of dead at 10,000 and wounded at 4,000.
On 2 March, the World Health Organization estimated approximately 2,000 killed but at the same time, the opposition claimed that 6,500 people had died while other conflicting reports pointed to 8,000.
On 8 September, Naji Barakat, the Health Minister of the National Transitional Council,
stated that the death toll amounted to 30,000, with half thought to be Gaddafi fighters.
War wounded were estimated as at least 50,000, of which about 20,000 were serious injuries.
These figures have not been independently verified, and the NTC caused controversy by reducing the number of people killed to 25,000 within a month.
Meanwhile in June, Gaddafi's Ministry of Health published a report compiling the number of casualties caused by the NATO bombing campaign. The document said that during the first 100 days of the NATO strikes 6,121 civilians were killed or injured.
According to the report 668 men were killed and 3,093 injured, 260 women killed and 1318 injured, and 141 children killed and 641 injured.

The vast majority have yet to be officially charged or brought to trial. Since the fall of Tripoli and the vast majority of the country under the control of anti-Gaddafi forces in August 2011, human rights abuses by armed militias such as arbitrary arrest and detention; torture or other ill-treatment – including to death; extrajudicial executions and forced displacement continued to take place in a climate of impunity. To date, armed militia seize people outside the framework of the law and hold them incommunicado in secret detention facilities, where they are vulnerable to torture of other ill-treatment.

NTC Surges into Qaddafi's Final Bastions Friday, 16 September 2011 Mohammed al-Alagi,
Justice Minister of the National Transitional Council said,
"Rebels entered Sirte yesterday. They then retreated yesterday, possibly to secure some areas.
It's a matter of hours before I believe the siege on the residents of the city will be lifted
and they will join the revolution. They have been under siege by some mercenaries and by some remnants of the former regime."

Some of the anti-Qaddafi fighters have been accused of arbitrary arrests and torture, and others have been implicated in killings.

Blanket amnesty for rebel atrocities 2012 -2013

Public criticism of the thuwwar, who are widely hailed as heroes, is uncommon.
Even officials, activists, journalists, lawyers and victims of human rights violations who privately acknowledge the prevailing lawlessness and abuses committed by the thuwwar
do not raise their concerns in public, fearing reprisals.
Their fears are justified.
Outspoken individuals have been dubbed the “fifth column”, as alleged al-Gaddafi loyalists are commonly called,
and faced threats and intimidation – entrenching the climate of self-censorship.

Impunity Rules: Libya Passes Controversial Amnesty law
Impunity was a serious problem. The scarcely functioning criminal courts struggled to try abusive Qadhafi-era officials, but generally skirted the pressing problem of abuses during the year by post-Qadhafi militias, in part because of militia intimidation of judges.
When authorities did attempt to conduct trials, threats and acts of violence often influenced and curtailed judicial proceedings.
Aside from adopting but not yet implementing legislation to provide a new legal framework and sponsoring dialogues on its implementation throughout the country, the government did not take concrete steps by year's end to advance transitional justice.
There were rare investigations and still fewer prosecutions of those believed to have committed abuses.

2013 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices – Libya

ReplyDeleteAs of 25 August approximately 287,318 persons have been displaced within and around Tripoli as well as in the eastern region of the country. This includes 100,000 persons recently displaced from Warshafana and some 7,000 Tawerghan IDPs have been redisplaced after leaving their camps in fear of shelling and possible abduction in Tripoli

Two tanks mark the entrance to a camp that houses more than 300 internally displaced people in a remote mountainous region of northwestern Libya. By the edge of the road, barbed wire fencing lined with UNHCR-stamped tarpaulins affords the makeshift homes a modicum of privacy.
The camp's inhabitants originate from the town of Tawergha, some 200km east.
http://newirin.irinnews.org/extras/2015/5/13/in-pictures-libyas-forgotten-idps
Despite being just 90km from the capital Tripoli, this camp’s remote location in the mountainous region of Tarhuna means it has been neglected by successive governments, the media and aid organisations.
Some families consist of just women and children, with missing husbands, fathers and brothers killed in 2011 or in prison. The ongoing conflict has made it impossible for families at the camp to visit relatives jailed in Misrata, who are believed to number up to 1,200.
Marwa Baitelmal, a spokesperson for the UN’s refugee agency, UNHCR, admitted that representatives had not visited this particular camp since 2013.
With no in-country presence for security reasons, she said it was relying on other agencies to deliver aid.

One of the main commanders of the pro-Islamist Benghazi Revolutionaries’ Shoura Council (BRSC), Wisam Ben Hamid, has claimed that his forces have now destroyed 80 percent of the Libya National Army in Benghazi and that his forces will win “for sure”.
When, last July – one of the last occasions he appeared on TV – he was filmed alongside Ansar leader Mohamed Al-Zahawi at the Saiqa camp in Buatni which they had just captured, the heavily bearded and triumphant Ben Wissam took a strongly Islamist line promising that their joint forces would take control of all Libya, impose Sharia law, and kill “all apostates”.
The claim about having destroyed four-fifths of the Libyan National Army does not tally with the situation on the ground in Benghazi where BRSC forces, which include Ansar Al-Sharia, have been pushed out of much of the city.

The International Criminal Court can investigate alleged crimes by Islamic State militants
in Libya, but it is first up to individual states to prosecute their citizens accused of offences, The Hague-based court's prosecutor said on Tuesday.
The United Nations Security Council asked the court in 2011 to investigate crimes committed
since the start of an uprising the same year that led to the fall of leader Muammar Gaddafi.
ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda told the UN Security Council on Tuesday that she had noted the 15-member body's calls for accountability for alleged crimes against civilians committed by groups claiming allegiance to Islamic State.
"My office considers that ICC jurisdiction over Libya prima facie extends to such alleged crimes," Ms Bensouda said. "I recall however the principle that states, in the first instance,
bear the primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute their nationals who have joined forces with (Islamic State) and are alleged to be committing ... crimes."
"My office is actively considering the investigation and prosecution of further cases, and will not hesitate to take such action as may be needed to contribute ending impunity in Libya," she said.

NATO’s chief has admitted that efforts to stabilize Libya after its bombing campaign
helped to oust the Gaddafi regime in 2011 failed. But responsibility lies with the international community and new Libyan authorities, Jens Stoltenberg believes.
Speaking in Turkey, however, Stoltenberg stressed that NATO had done in Libya what the United Nations gave it the green light to do: "When it comes to the NATO operation I think we all have to remember that that was an operation with a very clear UN mandate. And our task was to protect civilians against the violence conducted by the Gaddafi regime and we did so. We did what we were asked to do in accordance with the UN mandate."

EU foreign and defence ministers are expected to approve a mission to destroy the boats used by people-smugglers operating in war-torn Libya.
At a meeting in Brussels, the ministers will also discuss the mission's command-and-control structure and HQ.
It is part of the EU's response to the vast numbers of illegal migrants from Africa and the Middle East crossing the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32776688
NATO head Jens Stoltenberg warned Monday that fighters from Islamic extremist groups may hide among the flood of migrants seeking refuge in Europe, increasing the need for an effective response.
Stoltenberg's comments came as he attended a meeting of EU foreign and defence ministers which was set to approve the bloc's plan for a naval operation to tackle people smugglers operating mainly out of Libya.

The section on Tawergha takes up twenty pages of the report.
ReplyDeleteIt is chilling reading.Tawerghans told the Commission “that during‘interrogations
’they were beaten,
had hot wax poured in their ears
and were told to confess to committing rape in Misrata .
The Commission was told that one man had diesel poured on
to his back which was then set alight;
the same man was held in shackles for 12 days.”
This goes on and on. The death count is unclear
