Group Faults Libya's Nomination to Head U.N. Commission on Human Rights***Over the last decade, Libya has detained government opponents for years without charge or trial, prohibited the formation of political parties or independent non-governmental groups, and muzzled its press, according to HRW. In the past, the Libyan government has also been responsible for torture, "disappearances" and the assassination of political opponents abroad.

In its 2002 report on Libya, Amnesty International (AI) said: "Dozens of political prisoners were released, but hundreds, including prisoners of conscience and possible prisoners of conscience, remained in jail, many without charge or trial. "There were further reports of torture and ill-treatment from previous years, where no impartial and thorough investigations had been conducted" and "repeated requests from AI to send trial observers received no response from the Libyan authorities", the report added.***

Is there not one man in all of Africa, capable of shooting this son of a bitch right between the eyes?

If Africans can not seize control of their country, from the thugs and racists - Africa will return to and remain in the dark ages... Western civilization should send food ONLY to those willing to take up arms and throw out or kill the bastards currently in charge.

Why has the U.N. not acted in defense of WHITE MEN'S rights and lives..... A pox on the U.N. also.

If I could wave a magic wand, I'd arm all the oppressed people across the world, so they'd have a chance at toppling their tyrannical governments.
