11:05 pm
there is no such thing as a clean war. war allows every kind of atrocity. rape is a shocking but increasingly common consequence of war. collateral damage. a side effect of the fight. but there's evidence that it is now used as a military strategy. of all war crimes great
11:06 pm
is the most difficult to cover making it the perfect crime. in bosnia rwanda that there are critics republic of congo and syria women and children have usually been the main targets but in pre and post revolution libya it's men has often been the main victims but no one has ever been able to prove that. in libya rape is a taboo subject mentioned the word silence prevailed and. one woman did speak out
11:07 pm
in public in march 20 levon i just thought of that evolution. and that. the man in our baby was accusing the gadhafi regime of raping opponents and how cry resonated around the world. gadhafi was overthrown but libya was plunged into a civil war. the rumors of rape continued and while the international community expressed concern this did not turn into action. libya is still in a state of political and social chaos and tens of thousands of refugees have fled many towards europe. it effectively has 2 rival governments militias rule the streets and the rumors of rape persist but no one
11:08 pm
would confirm them. then a libyan magistrate now living in neighboring tunisia decided to speak out. on this given that leave you. alone.
11:09 pm
for. the next 7. give you. might out of school in law school i mean that's what i'm here to learn i mean my easy. money. mr moore how did you finish out of the enemy. in libya the madonna man you was a public prosecutor in the chaos that followed the overthrow of gadhafi in october 2011 he said members of the opposition to jail for murder the very next day they were released and threatened to kill him so just. so he left libya. in tunis he has joined a group of libyan activist fellow exile. he's put together
11:10 pm
a group which now tracks alleged crimes committed in their homeland. the video evidence brought to him by a man is shocking. so much to people. that's a mistake to believe because of. marine one of the. emoticon for all of this if you do have that he. shot what do you think you had best buy this one you video just don't get to. the to be. look so. just so.
11:11 pm
said he said the landlady so. i said you know. he thought of computer book of yeah and then. the thing you have to get out of. stephan if you think. i'm a lot to my lot in the cuttack a mother i'm a father can be a really. really good to see that canuck i know. so to be with my father going to tell us no. doubt a few $100.00. 100 as it. was i got. $100.00 no doubt if he got it how do we do with the full of. some of them personally but that was not in the form of the remark of to. do so if you would
11:12 pm
a little bit. but you know we could go you know you could change. well into the whole kitchen much of a lead on a mock. quiz for us called when you would have to step can make you still miss that city if you get out maybe looks that made you know life lives are lost maybe looks election day out of government yes i've got a good action and up above the bottom of the flight you have your pov on something . i would look cool you see. instead it would. have been going to your conscience on a mission. in libya reap is such a taboo that is simply not open for discussion.
11:13 pm
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 or she will be will be looking for. a local school. i thought oh.
11:14 pm
look this one. 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. 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 air this office office i just hate
11:15 pm
it when it's never going to. lack of the high yeah you feel. you know off. because. you know me. often enough for. anything. i have thought of we. could have taken any. testimony gradually revealed the horrors of a hidden war civilians rounded up on the street secret prisons and torture.
11:16 pm
he talked about men raped and then released defiled 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 the men asked. them why let's down the list. why you. see them just a lot better for just some so i just left. i looked this up my best. wish. a little high enough so it can.
11:17 pm
every day a mad meets victims of abuses suffered in libya and meticulously records everything they say. but most refused to talk about great. this man in his ear had been imprisoned for 6 years. so you have a sense of the got here. she shifts shift mommas of to. shake out north ideas. live to feel. my god even when are you going to visit the work on the one about the little mother i wonder if we.
11:18 pm
don't believe them when you did offer them guns it was kind of who could tell the truth not as it's over your book and it's. like a little of zimmerman a little clinic going out of session at the bottom. how to show. that they're going to. have a mostly of sitting up guardian let alone their reasonably honest look and he can move to her from. the legal guardian. would warm one of them a bit of a guy different than the year of the division of. lea. he saw him awfully fast from school fleet yeah sure you're. from texas.
11:19 pm
when there will be a few support of. the ship lee. if it will mean that you have been of that sea of metal saw. when a book or a nothing. like many others nazir simply avoids the question only revenge matters to him. but without official complaints and statements he may not count initiate any legal proceedings the retrial remains empty the crime simply doesn't exist.
11:20 pm
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 need outside expertise. 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.
11:21 pm
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. we are. a team it's not just me and imad we have many libyans here and we have our needs 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 200-5002 live. there is

11:23 pm
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 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 like. love. is room.
