Please sign this Petition: http://www.change.org/petitions/protect-em...=f&opt_fb=t

Eman al-Obaidi courageously pleaded for help from journalists in a Tripoli hotel on March 26, 2011 only to be tackled by Gaddafi security forces and taken away. Her condition and whereabouts are not known. We are appealing to human rights groups and the Office of the High Commission of Human Rights at the United Nations and the Turkish Consulate to do whatever possible to secure her relsease. Please help by signing the petition and sharing it widely.

According to the Independent:
A harrowing but unusually public glimpse of the ugly face of Muammar Gaddafi's police state was afforded yesterday by security men who seized a distraught Libyan woman as she complained of multiple [censored] by militiamen. Security agents forced her into a car after a brawl in which at least two journalists were attacked and one had his camera smashed. Before she was taken away, the woman shouted: "They say they are taking me to hospital, but they are taking me to prison.

"She shouted to reporters that she had been raped "by 15 men". Look what they did to me", she screamed, "Gaddafi's men. As soon as I am done here they will take me to prison. They violated my honour [the common Arabic expression for [censored]]. I am not scared of anything. I will be locked up immediately after this. Look at my face. Look at my back. All of my body is bruised."

She lifted the skirt to show bruises and lacerations on her right thigh, and shouted that they were the work of Gaddafi loyalists.

We are askiing various human rights groups, The International Red Cresent, The Turkish Consulate, the US State Department, the Office of High Commission on Human Rights and other organizations of influence to do whatever is possible to ensure Eman's protection and immdiaet release.

And we recognize that Eman is the visible face of but thousands of innocent civilians have been forcibly kidnapped and arrested by Gaddafi, and his mercenaries. The National Transitional Council has called for immediate release of all dissappeared persons and we wholeheartedly support their call.

(Much of the text of the appeal and petition was taken directly from The Independent article filed by Donald Macintyre in Tripoli).

News: EU and Turkey reacted because of this Petition and the one of Amnesty. The EU and Turkey made high pressure, so that at least they got her out of prison, into house arrest. Still, this battle is not over....

*ra pe seems to be censored, thats why I wrote it like this

WHAT THE FUCK!?
What is wrong with people? WOAH.
Worse than animals. I am sure animals would feel bad if they were compared to this :/

 

[Zorua]

WTF is wrong with Gadaffi and his men?

Sometimes, I think that he is an alien because no human can be so inhuman.........

 

[Hop2089]

Kaddafy must die!!!!

 

[nryn99]

no human can be so inhuman.........

i oppose that thought. nothing is impossible under certain circumstances, though it will be rare in this kind of generation. but it has got to do with the people around him and his experiences when growing up.

but this is wrong. i'm gonna hire someone to kill that b@stard.

And how exactly are animals worse than mankind? How are they bad at all?

 

[Raika]

Those people are scum.

 

[Destructobot]

How many people need to sign before Gadaffi stops being a jerk?

Seriously, I know this is a horrible thing, but really? An internet petition? That doesn't even work when people try to get companies to sell them stuff.

European Parliament reacted and Turkey too, we are waiting for the US to react too.
Its not like change.org and Amnesty didn't win many battles with those petitions.

Besides, doing nothing is really crap.

The rebels need to learn how to use some of the weapons at their disposal, there are abandoned APCs, tanks, and really good AAA littering the battlefield abandoned by Kaddafy and his force of tyrants, if I was on the battlefield, I would be in one of the tanks and even ask a few men to take any remaining tanks and APCs.

Kaddafy must die!!!!

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, not Kadaffy

p.s : Gadaffi is the biggest dick in the world

I doubt an internet petition is really going to go far. It might raise some public awareness but it's a very sensitive situation that no one really has the power to change in the immediate future.

My will aches in anger....

Sorry, but what you say is wrong.
1. EU and Turkey reacted because of this Petition and the one of Amnesty. The EU and Turkey made high pressure, so that at least they got her out of prison, into house arrest. Still this battle is not over....
2. Amnesty and Change.org won many battles in Iran and Africa with such ONLINE petitions.
3.If you don't want to do anything, its just fine, but as this Topic is about a woman being raped, maybe you make your own Topic talking about the pro and contra of online petitions... here is just the wrong place.

Internet petitions almost never do a thing. I won't say they're entirely pointless, a lot of the time it makes little to no difference. The Earthbound/Mother community is a good example of this.

To put my two cents in, I don't really have much to say. Bad things happen all the time, this is just one of many. It's heartless, but when you have things like this happen on a daily basis you just have to hope things change as a whole, not just for one person.
