Public Announcement From Inside Libya
The Internal Security of the Libyan Regime
is asking me to appear before them twice in a
week.

At the same time that it didn't take
another well known opposition leader, but three minutes to clear customs and
immigration in Benina airport, it took me no less that an hour and a half to
enter my beloved country through Tripoli International Airport. When I first
left my country I was forcibly deployed as a civilian doctor with the Libyan
forces in Chad, where I became a prisoner and then an exile in Europe for the
last two decades. In the airport they took my passport and told me to pick it
up later from their main office in Tripoli. I was interviewed by a number of
agents from the airport's many security agencies who all promised me a receipt
for my passport but never give me one.
After a few weeks of my return to my
country, I wrote to Libya-Watanona.info and Libya-almostakbal.info, expressing
my thoughts in a manner never crossing the factual peaceful line I followed
since my days in exile. But, the Internal Security Agency ordered me to report
to their Tripoli's office. Since I wasn't home when they came, I assured them
through an individual I knew that I plan to travel early next week to Tripoli
to appear before them and collect my passport which they had seized. Midnight
November 2nd I was surprised when two internal security agents came to the
family home and told me to report to the Gheryan Internal Security office in
the morning.
Regardless of what will infoe out of
these irrational acts of the Security Services, I want to stress the
following:
1-This agitation and shakedown is
absolutely repugnant and unacceptable, as all what I expressed doesn't
transcend my right to opinion which the regime purport to protect in all its
pronouncements and published laws.
2-Demanding our rights and the rights
of our people in freedom and multipart democracy, respect for human rights and
basic freedoms of thought, opinion and expression as well as freedom of
association and organizing, in addition to freedom to assemble and protest,
are all fundamental rights that there can be no negotiation or haggling about
them, irrespective of the consequences.
Long live Libya our homeland, with
liberty for all
