5:01 am
a mission. in libya reap is such a taboo that is simply not open for discussion. i meant as a human rights activist operating on the ground but he's determined to bring the issue of rape out into the open. because he has received death threats a man carries his entire life in a suitcase and he never sleeps in the same place. one of his contacts is a man known simply as a sea. change
5:02 am
or she will be will be looking for. a local school. i thought. the disappointment. for years just seemed really inside but all the time he knew about men and women who had been raped and who needed help . in fact he was talking about himself. when the scene arrived in tunis he didn't want his identity revealed and his voice here is this guy.
5:03 am
you know i think it will have a high with me and i did to want to you have to really. think i did it to me and i'm going to hear softness on his left wrist. it was never the case. lack of the high. because. people at the people. you know me. from you know us for. anything. but. we. could have taken any.
5:04 am
testimony gradually revealed the horrors of a hidden war civilians rounded up on the street secret prisons and torture. he talked about men raped and then released. men whom no one ever mentioned. i imagine the question was now how many of them were now wandering the streets of tunis before returning to libya and hiding their shame inside. and the women are the men asked to stop there yeah well it's down the list.
5:05 am
so i. see them just a lot for just some so i just let. her look this up my best. wish for a little high enough so it can. every day a mad meets victims of abuses suffered in libya and meticulously records everything they say. but most refused to talk about. this man nazir had been imprisoned for 6 years. well you haven't thought a got to him. she will shift shift mommas of to. she
5:06 am
can north. leave enough for a feel. good god even when are you going to visit the work on the hot bath with mother. on the aerial we. don't believe them when you did offer them guns it was kind of who could tell the truth look as if they were like oh you're poking fun of supply or. like a little of zimmerman a little clinic done and got me out of so you're not about them i. have to show. that they're going to. get other mostly of sitting up guardian let alone their reasonably honest look and he can move we don't interfere. with the legal guardian southwood long one of them a bit of a guy different than the year of the division of the. who left. lee
5:07 am
. he saw him awfully muscular school fleet yeah sure yet. if you're from texas. she had met an i.d.s. is enough stuff when there will be a few support for it then. but they should really live. in dutch way if it will mean that you have been of that sea of the city and much of the look they saw. or what a book or an a family show. like many others nazir simply avoids the question only revenge matters to him. but
5:08 am
without official complaints and statements. any legal proceedings the rape trial remains empty the crime simply doesn't exist. and a man spent several months listening to many libyan victims of abuse gathering a wealth of detailed information. but they case still lacked the kind of hard evidence they would need in order to make a case strong enough to stand up in international criminal court. they also badly needed outside expertise.
5:09 am
cillian by day knows libya well. she's a french lawyer specializing in international law and has 20 years of experience tracking sexual violence in conflicts around the world. in 2013 she helped draft a law aimed at protecting rape victims under the gadhafi regime but that is just lation was never elected. by dates experience is that the war crimes do not simply go away if no legal action is taken they would continue to be committed. but. we are. a team it's not just me and imad we have many libyans here and we have our need to
5:10 am
work inside on the ground and what we are trying to do we have trying to collect a lot of documentation from different organizations sense 2011 since ok since 201-1011 there is sometimes not just militias. do the crime there is people working for ministry of the. minister of fun tear out can deal with this kind. you know that recently at the i.c.c. for rape you know the case bomba he was sentence and he didn't rape nobody but she was sentence for rape because he ordered it or even knew that it was happening and he didn't do nothing so that's a very important case because night existing the jurisprudence and this is also
5:11 am
something we can use in our our case for almost 2 issues really so close of what you were to mention how we count toward together our team and you and your team to solomon this case is international we can do you know of the idea is all the case you have each individual situation that you may have collected each time we need to look at when it happened and where it happened because if you don't do that you get killed before a court that's why i am telling you this we have to work on that and to to show our systematic it is you know and then you have a case. legally speaking. you are in the. in a special situation. because you cannot bring a case. but it doesn't mean that it does to stop now i think we can work on that to
5:12 am
put pressure towards international in stones you are been you know mimic cetera and prepare a case for the i.c.c. and we need to push for the i.c.c. so we have to show that this is a priority and to bring a something. a lot of. room. for the international criminal court to agree to take on a case because believe in human rights activist in tunis would 1st have to establish that a war crime had been committed in their homeland. meanwhile you're seeing resurfaced this time ready to tell his story. it revolves around the seizure of his city. by government troops for 3 months in 2011.

5:15 am
he's never had a test because he didn't think you could trust anyone to do it. however tunas offers him the anonymity he needs to see a doctor ahead of you. if you live. the. system you have this is. what it. is. you're seen apparently needs more tests and medical examinations but it seems to be too much for him and he disappears off the radar again. he said but that put into the national. military's a policy that tipped off it was pretty restrictive to say if you persevere with a low interest rate you can make a levy in your body and that if you have the fisher and the employee says if i'm not fully recently you might say of course you completely get the intended to be

5:33 am
be. for you. and. i least testimony also reflected the fact that being from the to our right he and his fellow residents were designated for special treatment. of guns were largely descendants from slaves and so are black so they were often considered 2nd class libyan citizens but then they were also accused without conclusive proof of having support of the government sees of misrata and taken part in rape along with the gadhafi supporters and rebel
5:34 am
cities like misrata. a madman activist from 2 hours ago who had recorded the abuse suffered by the people. we. know they have lists of missing persons former prisoners the names of secret prisons and exact dates. the case was that water guns were being targeted kidnapped and systematically persecuted. yes. the evidence pointed towards having become

intimate to tell what if i just thought that there's different sometimes with different sort of don't feel like i'm in a good cup of coffee is you not a good person are going to get up and soon set off in the dark not from generally but really. it's. good to let your form but not the company 1st it was mostly a pretty. good kid but i think if you don't know if it. has are going to only go and so that's the scene and to me that would have to stop that nothing that. i did have to from the start but them instead of sufficient. just a decision ends up another one to 9 months in the 1st another part and then over to them i looked at them and into boarding an intercity. and recognition that. the
5:38 am
bullet did more but good that it's been a massive victory and shelter district when i had that kind of you know stony finance committee for me not to do any i was an attorney and it's not for certain that you have to look and since there's a. gap i'm happy that the tenets of standing up for starting a law that are out of mine are for my fantastic start to be sort of an option and lose the whole island but. what this book will. come got to defend.

the people of the twat i was finally allowed to return to the ruins of the city in 2018 but america human rights group concluded that discrimination against them continues and that as a people they have become demonized in post-revolutionary a form of collective punishment. and must have the. little need to. worry got about a difficult mission work under mad. how they do feel worship what money. to. put. on the wrong trail. you have. said. it. skipped likely a lot. of your many i think you won't when you have massive

5:44 am
for the u.n. tribunal to convict those responsible for the strip massacre. the case of course revolution libya has highlighted the use of rape as a calculated instrument of war. the international justice system must now pick up the battle but this is no easy task i mean the ongoing factional fighting in today's libya. a year had passed since his scenes 1st arrival in tunisia. he stablished that he was not steroids. and with the passage of time his talents have soft being more concerned with justice than revenge.
5:45 am
and if you could say to. change. the facts and can't you can't. contain it. and he had. to go in sick. if that's. the challenge now is to achieve that on behalf of your city rozier. ali. and all of the libyan rape.

5:49 am
zimbabwe's former president robert mugabe dies at the age of 95. the search for hundreds of people missing in the bahamas after harken dorrian ripped through the country's northern alliance. another blow for the u.k.'s prime minister the bill to block a no deal bracks it will become law having been approved by parliament's upper house . and the indian prime minister consoles his country's top scientists after they lose contact with an ambitious mission to the moon. and i'm only a hearty an endo how with sports fans pay tribute to the pioneering former south african rugby player chester williams after he dies at the age of $49.00. for many he will always be the hero who led zimbabwe to freedom from whites minority rule but others regard him as
5:50 am
a corrupt dictator who led the country to economic disaster while the mcgarvie his death at the age of 95 has seen tributes pouring in from across the world but also harsh criticism as people remember one of africa's most divisive leaders will go away was a guerrilla fighter who won independence for zimbabwe but his critics say he became an also crass who unleashed death squads rigged elections and shot at the economy until he was overthrown 2 years ago he was the only leader many zimbabweans who'd ever knowing how to absolve the meat looks back at his life. deliberate to turn into a tyrant the man who destroyed a promising country through his determination to cling on to power. by some but in the end despised by many in zimbabwe of the widely admired across africa as a hero who fought colonialism and stood up to the west. 965.
5:51 am
aeons mrs white settlers declare independence from britain an event that they find robert mugabe's life and still holds his country. the black majority resisted races in the cities and out in the countryside where a vicious bush war raged for years. robert mugabe a teacher turned activist emerged from prison as an articulate leader of the independence struggle we started the war in order to get our country and we have a country they did get their country at lancaster house in london in 1979. and when zimbabwe celebrated independence mugabe the overwhelming winner of elections was in power. and soon showing revival liberation fighters what he'd do to keep it. in the early eighty's the opposition crushed thousands killed in ethnic massacres atrocities that were barely noticed abroad.
5:52 am
but there was also much to admire racial reconciliation education and health for millions of zimbabweans although later the economy declined and the invasions of white farms in the year 2000 were turning point this time world did notice when people said that this was going to happen it was going to turn into a bloodbath turn into another congress. we're going to have to get out of. it was a coward to destructive process but they said he was correcting an old injustice and in many ways still fighting the old colonial power the land is ours we give it to whom we please it's not the business of britain you see to tell us who to give land they do not wear that those who are given members of my by my party is irrelevant to britain. by now opposition was growing despite murder and many
5:53 am
many zimbabwe seemed ready to throw mugabe out they had a new hero morgan chang right who said robert mugabe's earlier cheve man's will always be overshadowed by the years of oppression. do we portray him as the great liberator or do we portray him as somebody who has betrayed the liberation that the photo. i think the latter will prevail the 2 rivals ended up in government together although mugabe made sure he kept the real power and chunky violator returned to a position where he would eventually die becoming is constantly sharing how hypocritical the west is and africa loves that and for that reason and i think he will be judged alternately as being a more important figure in africa than simply this party is this part he's a dictator he's a tyrant he's anywhere you want to threaten but it's something more than that he
5:54 am
says he's the wrong messenger with the right message. by now his wife grace 41 years his junior had emerged as a political player mugabe well into his ninety's seem determined to go on and on. the. trail goes you know. that the robert mugabe is still here. but not as strong as he thought in the city's anger boiled over a new generation demanded mugabe go it's time for you to resign it's time for you to step down. in the end it was the army that pushed him worried he'd appoint grace as his successor a former colleague and then live rival of grace's emerson women took over it was more palace cruden revolution although the joy mirrored that of zimbabwe's original
5:55 am
revolution 37 years earlier will gladly retreated to his mansion the church of the last we don't deserve. we don't. but. the real tragedy robert mugabe could never bear da da of his country enjoying a 2nd freedom from his ruinous grip. well zimbabwe's current president emerson managua who took over after mccarthy was overthrown as pay tribute to the formally to. be chris's. did a little. of finnish adherence to principle on the collective rights of. africans in general. in particular the rise of the people of zimbabwe for whom he gave us all
5:56 am
we have. nelson chamisa is the leader of the official opposition in zimbabwe the movement for democratic change he says the gulf has left zimbabwe divided we are knowledge of the condition led by mr mugabe to the liberation of our country and also his contribution to the early days when he contributed to education and housing but he also acknowledged the reality that they were all so negative in terms of the pain that the people had to go through on a common goal is all nations and commissions in government god knew it was a human being is now it is now the party that. you could not have been ducked perfect because it was not an angel though they will be given a state funeral although no arrangements have been announced yet he's also been granted the country's highest posthumous honor how much has a cent this update from harare. when president innocent and god addressed the
5:57 am
nation he said robert mugabe is a national hero who be remembered for the land reform program when land was seized from whites and given to black zimbabweans he says you know plans are only to finalize once the body is back in the countries are right now no dates it has been since the burial mugabe ruled this country with 37 years and opinions are mixed some people say they genuinely loved him he was a liberator and i think missed them but i was down at any kind whereas if they are to manipulate into blaming or as once they cross chorus economy ginny when you speak to some people they will tell you that their relationship with mugabe was a complicated one man say that in the eighty's and ninety's he grew up in a poor rural village his parents couldn't afford to send him to school because back in the government made such an effort to get as many black children educated as possible this man managed to get those degree and mounted a fairly good job but over the years because the economic crisis and the political crisis he lost his job and it's been
5:58 am
a struggle since the end to feed his family in these children to school pay rent and that's what many zimbabweans are going through the journey to summon up i think a lot of people will say their relationship with mugabe and his legacy is complicated so what happens next people wait for the funeral dates to be announced you will be given a state funeral which needed body will lie in state for probably a couple of days he may even tore some parts of the country particularly his rural home in asean but after that he'll be buried at the national heroes here in the capital harare italy many people who fought during the liberation war to end white rhino to rule were buried he'll be given a respectful symbol of according to officials in the ruling party after that people within contemplate the way forward for zimbabwe without any more in their lives so clearly mcgarvey remains. with a terrible record. on human rights and the economy 3 years after zimbabwe's 980

6:00 am
studies at wellesley college good to have you with us on this news archives for being with us can i ask you what your initial thoughts and feelings were when you heard of the death of robert mugabe i think i had been like most people expecting that it would happen any time soon he was 95 years old but i was also quite intrigued and waiting to see what the reaction would be from that of p.s. your listeners might recall that just 2 years ago or barely 2 years ago in november 27th when we saw as an appeal of celebrating the fall of roberts will get through it who but he's dead the bay his deputy and our president and us and that we're so intrigued that opiates seems to be taking over leading that funeral and assuring the country that he's going to have a state sponsored funeral in the last few weeks so it had that that's something that that wasn't interested in.
