A Libyan woman burst into the hotel housing the foreign press in Tripoli on Saturday morning in an attempt to tell journalists that she had been raped and beaten by members of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s militia. After struggling for nearly an hour to resist removal by Colonel Qaddafi’s security forces, she was dragged away from the hotel screaming.
She probably could have quietly slipped away after escaping, but instead she put herself into the spotlight to expose the abuses of Qaddafi’s regime. Unspeakably brave. New York Times article, “Libyan Woman Struggles to Tell Media of Her Rape,” DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK (via temporarily)
