shocking revelations in an already troubled post gadhafi libya's human rights group secures the military of torturing detainees to death. angry activists are back on the streets of poland to protest against the government's signing of a low key international anti-piracy pact they say will result in internet censorship. that iran considers banning oil sales to europe ahead of the ears decision to stop importing crude from the contrary into a lie but tehran says it's ready for negotiations over its nuclear program.

that's three pm here in moscow this is r.t. coming to you live thanks for being with us so many so now a with our top story this hour and several detainees in libya have died in recent weeks as a result of torture according to amnesty international the human rights group says crimes were committed by the libyan military and security forces the accusations follow similar claims by agency doctors without borders thousands of the loyalists remain behind bars now suffering the same atrocities handed out under the late colonel's regime. has more. doctors without borders noted for going do their job in the most dangerous and notorious places around the globe but in n t c iran libya the group has encountered a formidable obstacle they couldn't overcome burns from electric shocks and cigarettes heavy bruising and renal failure all these evidence of the continued to

churn of prisoners say the doctors and now off the two inmates died from reaching the international group has stopped its mission in protest. patients were brought to us in the middle of interrogation for medical care in order to make them fit for further interrogation this is an acceptable our rule is to provide medical care to war casualties and sick detainees not to repeatedly treat the same patients between torture sessions the news comes amidst rising anger with levy's interim government demonstrations in benghazi last week ended with the resignation of a high ranking member of the m.t.c. in the former gadhafi stronghold of bani walid locals pushed out their traditional council forces claiming systematic abuse it started with the very beginning of the rebellion very beginning of the insurrection the second day of the rebellion eighteenth of february the african migrants were rounded up locked in

a detention center and burnt to death and the n.p.c. expressed support for this time and this is part of the strategy of the west you know divide and rule that was given the green light for the torture and execution that we're seeing now so this is a recipe for civil war meanwhile the nato operation that brought them to see to power is by itself raising questions. high profile international team of human rights activists has been to leave here to investigate some of make sure that it bears entity of where with that if you go in the friends. and there were guiding the air raids and they are acting them and court again they think that if you are mandated. to protect. that. it is very

very accurate in a way that i myself saw the killing of so many people in front of me my eyes i saw the killing of fifty one people in front of my eyes being abused was fifteen years old and while all sides and believe in conflict are to blame for violence and violations of human rights activists claim not all of them have been held responsible for their wrongdoings investigating what happened during libya's seven month civil war and the nato campaign to protect civilians this fact finding mission discovered again crimes against humanity but the goal was not to judge but to shed light on what happened and not to repeat the mistakes recent united nations report has revealed that up to eight thousand supporters have been held by militia groups in libya right now and with numerous occasions of torture and revenge killings throughout the country hopes of a new beginning for libya are fading quickly griffin ocean or r.t.

. will be as post gadhafi government the national transitional council has so far failed to bring peace and stability to the country later this hour here on our team peter develop his guest on cross talk to great why don't the listeners who overthrew the colonel are reluctant to obey their new readers. who the hell is the n.p.c. who are these people after all these months it's still very opaque who are they. well you know we we know that these are people who who who were privileged and under the old regime and who decided they could be more privileged under a western style regime i think you know this thing about wanting democracy when one is seeing it or you didn't hear it because there's just no do your only yes when i was even finished i haven't said anything in your interrupting me. i am saying there you have you said. which are simply not true what my problem. my

problem with the n.p.c. is that a lot of the. exiles that have come back and some of my actually lived in the suburbs of langley and that's my issue ok my issue is that these are western gets and i saw this as a matter of fact one of the issues in libya is right now that when you talk to libyans they refer to and see the transitional council as a government of foreigners and so i think you put your finger right on the these are not cronies of gadhafi as a matter of fact most of those people have been arranged out the t.n.c. has brought in and i'm not even if you were going to. were exiles and so in a sense that is part of the problem and why they are not legitimate is because they really have no standing in the country at this point. and more angry protests have broken out in poland after the government gave its support to an international anti-piracy treaty activists say the pact known as

octal will tell create them online expression poland joined several other e.u. countries in a closed door signing ceremony in japan on thursday. has more. i'm . down with censorship the end so i come to a few trade agreement known as act which poland signed on thursday has upset many internet users across the country in the small town of lupul in alone several thousand people hit the streets fearing the treaty would allow corporations to crackdown on the freedom of speech online the idea of funding. for publishing the. marriage material. is somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knifes for. being used to kill somebody that will be used to monitor our internet activity i believe that talking

through the internet email forums form of self-expression this was yet another rally in a whole string of protests held in poland since tuesday large crowds in several cities voiced their anger at the government for signing the document most of the country's government websites were hijacked by the anonymous group they had threatened to reveal sensitive information about the authorities should they go ahead with the act there are certain countries which are very interested in. this is. this is job. and because they were strong businesses. or property laws and they want to enforce it all over the world but this doesn't mean that this is good for the people and this is why would we have this protest in poland because people feel oppressed by that essentially actor is about protecting intellectual property from music and books pharmaceuticals and

clothes similar in form to the stalled u.s. bill so people that also sparked widespread protests however critics say actor was engineered in complete secrecy bypassing government procedures and the. criminal punishment alerted many in the legislation must be founded in the public opinion of what's right and wrong when you have a copyright industry that's talking about extraditing a person who has done nothing but linking to t.v. shows extradition does something useful murder and genocide this is such an abuse of power i think its time is more than ripe for a serious review of what we want with copyright law and it's certainly not calling out just terrorists. if you doubt this will happen given that prime minister to six party hold the majority in the save the

government says the agreement is not a threat to freedom but maintain the internet should not be a space of legal. but protesters say they will bring even more people to warsaw central square on friday to stop it becoming law in the space of just three days protests unfold have managed to gather tens of thousands of people and while this is still little chance that this bill would not make it through parliament the rallies unlikely to die down lets you assess the r.t. reporting from poland. ten minutes past the hour still ahead for you the physical function of the year. the haves and have nots are gathered in this west south to sort out a global economy in need of repair we'll have more coming up. but first iran says it's considering cutting off oil supplies to europe preempting an embargo due to come into force in july so runs lawmakers are set to debate the move already the subject of a draft bill on sunday but it comes after the e.u.

imposed sanctions in an attempt to force it back to the negotiating table over its nuclear program iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad says tehran is ready to return to talks by its opponents. need to compromise inspectors from the u.n. atomic watchdog are such more arrive in the iran later in the week sure wrench of fire from the campaign against sanctions and military intervention in iran says the country is acting to protect its sovereignty. the grace period that the vision for six months. ago to take place may actually not be that graceful so iran is taking matters into his own hand and the other issue is that it shows the complex city of feeling in the midst of politics and the power that the iranian parliament holds and that is accountable to its people and it's not going to just sit back and watch what's going to happen to the national sovereignty of the wrong i mean it's not the most ideal situation because iran has to find different customers where it's all

about at the same time iran is going to be to decrease this dependence on the petro dollar this is a very good thing in the long run this is actually going to lead to more independence for iran as a whole as a nation not just not just one part of the society which is investing in foreign businesses. while the u.s. and europe continue to hit iran with sanctions and strong rhetoric the suggestion of military action against the islamic republic leaves many americans cold aren't you going to choose you can as in the country's capital to gauge opinion. while the obama administration says war with iran is still on the table and washington hawks come up with horror show statements we should brace iranian regime i think within a year the majority of americans may sense that their opposition to more wars which is reflected in all the recent polls is being ignored in washington residents of charlottesville in virginia took the matter to their city council which passed the

resolution calling on the federal government to end all its wars and avoid starting the new one with hugh grant the biggest threat right now is that we will get jackknifed into a war against iran which would be a do. zoster for the people of iran and for the people of charlottesville and the rest of our country david swanson is the co-author of the resolution adopted by the charlottesville city council. of popular will as always been against wars unless pushed in dragged by very manipulative propaganda and they have been trying those who want war on iran have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get the american people on board i went out on the street to see how many people i would meet who want the u.s. to attack iran. do you think the us should attack iran no no not at all the last thing we should do though it's a terrible idea one of the worst ideas i think i have heard no while yeah that

would be horrible yeah because they're good guys but because. i think another war is just a horrific idea but look on the republican side you've got certain ones over there who want to give just can't wait to get us in war it really doesn't look good at all do you think the u.s. should attack iran yes just one out of more than a dozen interviews and it's not just people on the street but many experts in the security field warn against starting a war with iran including the former acting director of the cia people keep saying that the military option this is still on the table i think it would be a very bad option but the latter one to use one of the big problems with iran is that if you get into. an open confrontation military confrontation your risk a cycle of retaliation and response. with great difficulty seeing where the end point is the question one man asked is how does washington continue talking wars with so many americans against them i have

a hard time thinking of any example of any issue on which the conduct of our government in washington corresponds with majority opinion war is not some kind of exception the public is against bailouts for. anchor's the public is against subsidies for energy companies the public is against wars the public is against just about every decision made on important issues in washington the fact of the matter is that majority of americans don't want a new wars on their plate poll showed they were opposed to u.s. involvement in libya as well but the government went about it anyway many says that the rift between what americans want and what leaders do in the name of the american people is getting larger i'm going to check our reporting from washington marty. well for more on all our stories you can add to our website r t v dot com here's what's lined up for you today lunar long sought one republican presidential candidate but so are the proposal of making our satellite america's fifty first
