Women in Libyan jails seek right to suicide to end unbearable humiliation.HT: VoiceOfRussia ; TundraTabloids.

Libya’s female prisoners have appealed to the country’s spiritual leaders to allow them to commit suicide as endless abuse and humiliation make life unbearable for them.

Libyan female activist and rights campaigner Wafa Mabda told in exclusive interview with the Voice of Russia about the brutal mistreatment of women in post-Gaddafi Libya.

How are female prisoners treated in Lybia?

Women suffer horrible torture in Libyan jails. They are burned, subject to electric shocks and placed in solitary cells for weeks or months on end. Women have long been complaining to us about that. We’ve been receiving letters revealing absolutely appalling episodes. Prison wards sell female inmates, letting men rape any woman they choose for a certain pay. Rape victims say that once important people from Qatar came and the prison was turned into a brothel.

Another episode involves drunken Frenchmen. Prison wards lead them into cells and allowed them to rape several inmates. Imagine what wards themselves do.

One woman witnessed how 26 "dirty beasts" raped her cellmate one by one. She lost consciousness but that didn’t stop them. The following day, she died.

What are those jails?

Those atrocities are committed in the Ain Zara, Gargur and Maitiga jails. There reportedly are seven girl inmates in Gargur.

Who controls those jails - the authorities?

Some jails are controlled by the authorities, others – by armed groups.

What does the public do to monitor the situation in jails?

Libyan activists have repeatedly sought permission to monitor the destiny of each and every female inmate, but without success so far. There is no respect for human rights here. When people picketed the Gargur jail, the guards began shooting at them.

What do women ask you in their letters?

They want to die to escape further humiliations. They ask spiritual leaders to issue a fatwa allowing them to commit suicide.Hmmmm.....Lybia....Another 'Obamination'.
