Male rape is being used systematically in Libya as an instrument of war and political domination by rival factions, according to multiple testimonies gathered by investigators.
..In several instances, witnesses say a victim was thrown into a room with other prisoners, who were ordered to rape him or be killed.
The atrocity is being perpetrated to humiliate and neutralise opponents in the lawless, militia-dominated country. Male rape is such a taboo in Arab societies that the abused generally feel too damaged to rejoin political, military or civic life.
...“They take a broom and fix it on the wall. If you want to eat, you have to take off your pants, back on to the broom and not move off until the jailer sees blood flowing. Nobody can escape it.”
...Ahmed said 450 men were being held in his part of the jail.
“There was a black man, a migrant. In the evening, they threw him into one of our cells: ‘You rape this guy, otherwise, you’re dead!’”
..In one video shown to this reporter, a young man is seen sitting in the sand with his head down, terrified. An arm in a military outfit lifts him up, pulls down his trousers, then his pants, and places a rocket launcher up to his buttocks. The camera turns away. Ramadan turns away. “Stop it, it’s sadistic!”
In one case, a former soldier loyal to Muammar Gaddafi said he was raped repeatedly. “With a broom handle fixed to a wall?” Imed asked.
Mouna nodded. “They were all raped like this.”
In another camp in southern Tripoli, Fathia said women were not immune. She said her entire family was violated by a militia from Misrata, with the men being deliberately targeted.

Pitcher or catcher?
ambassador Chris Stevens was unavailable for comment.
At this very moment, some of the Guardian’s staff are looking into vacation packages to Libya.
Cruel people.
“Male rape is such a taboo in Arab societies that the abused generally feel too damaged to rejoin political, military or civic life.” huh? Who writes this crap?

Cruel people.

at least it takes a lot of pressure off the goat & camel herds.
The Manchester Guardian does. They always have.
So will they open up recruiting stations in West Hollywood and San Francisco?
Nominal islam
Arab muslims still hold very “Roman” ideas of homosexuality. Basically, its OK to bugger a guy especially in situations when demonstrations of power and humiliation are required by their code. Getting buggered yourself is a sign of weakness.
“We came, We saw, He died!” CACKLE, CACKLE, CACKLE
Obama proclaimed, “After four decades of darkness, they (the Libyan people) can walk the streets, free from a tyrant.” He did not say they would be free from buggery.
“So will they open up recruiting stations in West Hollywood and San Francisco?”
What do you mean, will they? This is called off-season vacationing.
Muslims in Mideast nations bugger young boys all the time, but do not consider it homosexual because it is not sex with a “Man.”
No wonder they are so screwed up.
To be fair, “The Gaddafi regime was accused of using rape as an instrument of war during the 2011 revolution that unseated the dictator. “
I guess we know why they shoved a rifle up his backside before they killed him.
