Rights group: Bodies of 53 apparent Gadhafi loyalists found in Libyan hotel

(CNN) -- The bodies of 53 people, believed to be supporters of ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, has been found in a hotel that was under the control of anti-Gadhafi fighters, Human Rights Watch said Monday.

The rights group said it found the bodies clustered together at Hotel Mahari in Sirte on Sunday. About 20 residents were putting the bodies in body bags to prepare them for burial when Human Rights Watch found them.
We found 53 decomposing bodies, apparently (Gadhafi) supporters, at an abandoned hotel in Sirte, and some had their hands bound behind their backs when they were shot,“ said Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director of Human Rights Watch.

“This requires the immediate attention of the Libyan authorities to investigate what happened and hold accountable those responsible.“

Officials with the National Transitional Council, Libya's new leadership, were not immediately available for comment.

The residents told Human Rights Watch investigators they found the bodies last week after the fighting in Sirte stopped and they returned home.

They identified some of the deceased as Sirte residents and Gadhafi supporters.

I am curious how this is going to play out in the long term. Neither side are angels as we have established time and again in other threads. I find it self defeating to overthrow a dictator because of that dictators actions, only to use those very same actions when the balance of power shifts.

So far right now nothing is confirmed with this (who they are / affiliation etc - just guesses right now).

This nothing more then cleansing at its finest, you dont think that the new Libya wont be any different then the old was? think again now that sharia law will be placed its only matter of time before things get worse, as for elections dont hold your breath just look at egypt the military stated after the uprise that the elections will take place in september since then they havent happend yet, if they do happen.

It will be nothing more then mocked staged elections.

Of course the "NTC was unavailable for comment." The US has supported the overthrow of a relatively benevolent dictator in favor of a violent Islamist regime, what did anyone expect? Wanna know what to expect next? A lot more dead bodies.

Peace Prize my furry butt.

Libya's new leaders are killing black people, foreigners and have set out to exterminate Qaddafi's tribe as well

Witch hunts in "free" Libya[b/] www.voltairenet.org...

While NATO’s mandate enjoins it to protect civilians, the Alliance allows the forces of the Libyan National Transition Council to continue their abuses. After hunting down black Africans, the summary executions now extend to members of the Qadhadhfa tribe, that of the fallen Leader. Hundreds of thousands of African workers have already fled the country to escape death; the time has now come for certain Libyans to take the road to exile if they want to survive.

Al Jazeera director general outed as a CIA mouthpiece

Critics of NATO’s intervention in Libya have launched some of their harshest indictments against the international media, and particularly Doha based station Al Jazeera, which positioned itself as the greatest champion of the so-called Arab Spring. The resignation of Al Jazeera director general Wadah Kanfar following the release of Wikileaks cables which expose his links to the CIA is sure to give such critics a sense of vindication. With the channel being seen as the "voice" of the movement against Muammar Gaddafi’s Libya, it also raises questions about the potential for Mr Kanfar and the channel’s vested interests in NATO’s intervention which brought that movement to power.

A female friend of mine and university lecturer who had gained her doctorate at the London School of Economics (see picture), Salma, committed the crime of coming from the same tribe as Gaddafi, the Qadhafadhfa. She was shot dead as she fled for the airport along with her mother and two nieces, Yam aged 20 months and Aden, who was just three-weeks old.

the new government has also lifted restrictions on how many wive a man can have as well, don't forget that one of their 1st priorities after taking over a part of the country was setting up a central bank

awww look! it was BS after all.

Lybia: Human rights impostors used to spawn NATO's fraudulent war www.voltairenet.org...

The names change but the methods remain the same. In Iraq the imperial war facilitator was Ahmed Chalabi. In Libya he goes by the name of Soliman Bouchuiguir, a shadowy human rights figure whose baseless allegations against Gaddafi were endorsed by the UN system and its affiliated human rights agencies without the slightest verification. Each one in his own way, Nazemroaya and Teil shed light on a failed system of international law and justice, which has made itself complicit in NATO’s war crimes in Libya.

The same thing happened in Iraq between the Shia and Sunni tribes. When will these people (our gubmint) ever learn? Or were they counting on it? If so...

When humanity gets up off its asses and retakes their governments. Get involved at all levels, contact your reps at all levels, voice your concerns, and hold them accountible when the votes come up. If they do a bad job, then next election cycle fire them and elect someone who does represent the people instead of transnatioanl corps.

It really is that simple.

What do you think would happen if people got mobolized and in the next election voted out every single incumbent? This website loves conspiracies, so lets conspire. Dont vote for any incumbent - vote them all out and replace them with people who use common sense who arent part of the ruling aristocracy we allowed to be put in place through apathy.
