[meow mix]

for all the ghadaffi rape deniers, heres your favorite rape room that went on for days.

id like to ask if you think this behavior ceased due to a war starting? :shrug: and also when the libyans were banned from taking viagra? :shrug:


Bruised and bloodied, a Libyan woman burst into a dining room full of international journalists last Saturday in an attempt to share her story of rape and abuse at the hands of Muammar Gaddafi's government.

Iman Obaidi said she had been stopped at a checkpoint and was repeatedly raped by 15 government men over the course of two days. According to a story in The Guardian, Obaidi says the men "swore at me and they filmed me. I was alone. There was whiskey. I was tied up. They peed on me

2. lol, not worth an answer i guess

weird yeah

3. no one is denying that rape goes on during war

but one case does not provide evidence that it's systemic or organized or that it's fueled by the libyan gov't handing out viagra

6. LOL! hardly the only incident, take off the ghadaffi-blinders and you might know that...

A source from Tripoli has confirmed to us that Al Zawiya Street hospital seen many rape victim admittances last night.

Such deplorable and sickening actions were committed after Gaddafi’s speech in which he called for door-to-door cleansing of the city from those who are against his regime.

just one of many such reports..widespread and systematic.


A female dissident, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Al Zawiya Street Hospital in Tripoli had received "several rape victims following Gadhafi's speech of conducting door-to-door cleansing of the city."

"Family honor and respect for women is highly regarded in Libya, so going house to house and attacking women is a way of humiliating families and deterring the men from taking to the streets," she added, noting that Col. Gadhafi vowed to "purify" Libya in his defiant speech broadcast Tuesday.
