about the activities of the Green Resistance fighting against the NATO-rebels
in Libya.
The young Libyan man
confirms that since November 11 there are clashes between Green Resistance
fighters and NATO-rebels on the ground in entire western Libya. The biggest
clashes have been in Zawiyah where also 3,000 prisoners were freed by the Green
Resistance. He says there are Green Flags and pictures of Muammar Qaddafi going
up everywhere in Libya.
LIZZIE PHELAN INTERVIEWS THE SON OF DR. ABUZAID DORDA
Independent journalist Lizzie Phelan who has been covering the
Libyan crisis since it began interviews Mr. Hamid Dorda, whose father, Dr.
Abuzaid Dorda, senior member of the Libyan Jamahiriya government and once
permanent envoy to the United Nations, has been detained in very brutal
circumstances by the rebels’ National Transitional Council (NTC).
On November 14 there will be a decision made by the NTC whether
Dr. Dorda would stand trial or not for crimes all Libyans know he hasn’t
committed, as well as if he should be moved away from the militia that have
tried to murder him several times and who are now still guarding him.
In contravention of international law and with human rights organizations
and the UN itself turning a blind eye, Dr. Dorda has suffered torture, inhumane
and severe mistreatment and numerous attempts on his life since NTC forces
detained him on September 11.
His health is deteriorating and he remains untreated since
October 25 for internal bleeding and broken bones. His family has been refused
the right to visit him.
A message by Dr. Abuzaid Dorda’s family members spread on
Saturday November 12 literally says:
“on Monday the council is going to decide what’s gonna happen to our father and he’s been sitting in a hospital bed for 16 days with a broken leg and they are refusing to treat his internal bleeding and cracked hip we are all worried for his health. Also, Dr. Mohammed Zidan, Head of the Fact Finding Commission in Tripoli, is missing captured by the NTC rebels.”
On October 26 Dr. Dorda’s brother wrote a letter
to the United Nations, but Mr. Hamid Dorda says the United Nations
didn’t respond to that letter.
To help in the campaign to save the life of Dr.
Abuzaid Omar Dorda please send letters, emails, phone calls to the addresses
listed at Libya S.O.S. or open and
