11:07 pm
in libya rape is a taboo subject mention the word silence prevailed and. one woman did speak out in public in march 28th levon just thought of that evolution of. 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 continue and while the international community expressed concern this did not turn into action. libya is still in
11:08 pm
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 would confirm them. then a libyan magistrate now living in neighboring tunisia decided to speak out. on
11:09 pm

libya. in tunis he has joined a group of libyan activist fellow exile. he's put together 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 get published. that's a mistake to believe to call a. marine one of the. emoticon for office if you do have that sort of he. what do you think you've addressed by this letter when you video just going to. the

11:12 pm
a. kid. was i got. the $100.00 out of it kind of how do we do with the fullest. but that was not the familiar theme of course to do. so if you would a little bit. in the you know we could go you know if you could change. well into the whole kitchen much of a lead on a mock. quiz for us called when you want to step can make you still miss that city if you get out maybe looks the magic to know life learns of lost maybe looks election day out of government. yes i've got a good action and up above the bottom of the fly you have your pov on something. i will look will you see that. instead it would. have been administered your conscience on a mission. in libya reap is such
11:13 pm
a taboo that is simply not open for discussion. i meant is 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 imad 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
11:14 pm
or she will he 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.
11:15 pm
you know i think it will have a high with me and i did to want to do you have to really. think i did it to me and i think we have a softness on his left wrist. it was never going to. lack of the high you feel over your. off. because. you know me. from you know us for public. health. but how. can you do with your level of we. could have taken any.
11:16 pm
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. 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 i asked. them why let's down the list. so why you. see them just
11:17 pm
a lot better for just some say yes. i looked this up my best. wish. a little high enough so it can be. every day 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. well you have as a result i got to him. just shift shift mama's a. cynical north i didn't leave much to feel.
11:18 pm

11:19 pm
. he saw the mafia the hospital school fleetly. sure yet all seem. to fear from the us. just solution method and i.d.'s is enough so when there will be a few support for it then we should by the shipley live. in god's way if it will mean that you have been of that c. of the season much to look to saw. what a book or a nothing will. like many others nazir simply avoids the question only revenge matters to him. but without official complaints and statements. any legal proceedings the rape trial
11:20 pm
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 need outside expertise.
11:21 pm
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 diligence 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 nice work inside on the ground and what we are trying to do we

11:23 pm
you were to mention how we count toward to give up our team and you and your team to solve this case is international you can 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 you tap and and where it happened because if you don't do that you get killed before a court that's why i'm 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 a in a special situation. because you cannot bring a case ok but it doesn't mean that it does to stop now i think we can work on that to put pressure towards international in stone's european you know mimic cetera and

11:27 pm
tunas offers him the anonymity he needs to see a doctor ahead of you. in the world. who says you have. 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 put into the national. city of military c. foresee it tipped off it was pretty. if you persevere with a love interest you can make a levee in your body or not let the fish you and the. city by not fully recently tell you the mighty city of course you completely got the idea to be quite fill of
