The Voice of Russia - Thursday, October 10, 2013
Libyan PM Ali Zeidan has been seized from his hotel in the capital, Tripoli by a former rebel militia loosely allied to the government.
The Voice of Russia talked to Curtis Doebbler
who is an international human rights lawyer and a peace activist,
specializing on the Middle East. And let’s see if we can get some more
inside on what’s happening in Libya.
Curtis, hello.
Welcome to the program. And first of all do you have any more details on
today’s arrest or kidnapping, whatever that was?
Certainly,
it’s not clear what it is. And I think that’s indicative of the very
unusual and strange situation in the country that has been caused by the
interfering intervention in their country. The latest reports that are
coming out said that PM Ali Zeidan is being held by his own government
in the anti-crime department. But they’ve apparently arrested him for
acting in a way, that harm the national interest. But it’s certainly a
very unusual type of situation, one that would not normally happen in a
country that has a situation of stability and respect for the rule of
law.
Also in a recent interview with BBC Ali Zeidan
urged the West to help stop militancy in Libya. He said that his country
has been used as weapons’ base. Do you think, if he was abducted
indeed? Do you think that has something to do with the abduction?
