in Libya

Meanwhile, at least two dozen protestors have been quietly killed IN LIBYA.

But here’s the historical mention that really surprises me. I either missed this or forgot it:

“But some of the protests appear to draw on much older grievances. They were first set off on Tuesday night when the police arrested a human rights lawyer representing families of 1,000 detainees massacred in 1996 at the notorious Abu Salim prison in Tripoli.”

1,000 detainees massacred?
