British women raped by Libyan soldiers

The female British activists, two of whom are sisters, were taking part in an aid convoy bound for Gaza that intended to try to break the Israeli blockade. Libyan deputy prime minister Awad al-Barassi, who visited the women in the hospital, said the victims were travelling with two male companions when they were kidnapped on Tuesday on their way to the Benghazi airport after deciding to return to Britain. "Sadly [the perpetrators] belong to army, but they don't reflect the ethics of Libya army," Mr al-Barassi said in an interview with the national Libya al-Hurra television channel. "I visited the rape victims. They are in a very bad psychological state. They were raped in front of others, in front of their father. This is a heinous crime," he added.
