A Libyan father killed his three daughters after they were raped by Gaddafi's troops to lift the shame on his family, a human rights group said today. The girls, aged 15, 17 and 18 were allegedly assaulted by soldiers at a school in the town of Tomina, near the war-shattered city of Misrata, during a two-month siege.
The horrific story was one of a number to emerge from Misrata after the group sent in a team of interviewers in June to catalogue human rights abuses just after Libyan forces expelled Gaddafi loyalists. Researchers from PHR were also told that Gaddafi's men: Forced numerous civilians to act as human shields; perched children on top of tanks to deter Nato attacks & Used rape as a weapon of war with deadly consequences.'One witness reported that (Gaddafi) forces transformed an elementary school into a detention site where they reportedly raped women and girls as young as 14 years old,' the report noted.
Researchers also heard reports of suspected honour killings - including the murder of the three sisters by their father. But PHR also noted that 'some in Tomina have stood up against this practice, including a well-known sheik who has publicly advocated for raped women and girls to be seen as brave and bringing honor to their families'.

What the heck is wrong with that part of the world.

Are there no pictures of the children perched on top of tanks or civilians being used as human shields? The entire story reeks of disinformation.

Do you really think they had to make him look worse than we know he already is?
The man has been defeated. Bringing the story to light now.... whos to say.
As to the others that wanted pictures of the kids on the tanks etc. I don't know what to say to that. I guess we'll just have to see if they appear.
It added that it had found no evidence to confirm or deny reports that Gaddafi troops and loyalists were issued Viagra-type drugs to sustain their systematic rapes.
