The Libyan government has reported that four men have been questioned about the case, including the son of a senior state official. Government spokesman Ibrahim Moussa, said in an interview with The Associated Press that the woman was a prostitute who refused to undergo a medical examination and is now with her sister in the Libyan capital.
"This girl is a prostitute. Has his rights, but not the one who claimed to be", he said, but an hour later, at a press conference in Tripoli, not repeated this accusation. The spokesman said government-led Al-Obeidi had made public the name of his alleged attackers, which is contrary to Libyan customs as it goes against "the honor of the family, children and people".
Al-Obeidi said he had been arrested by government soldiers at a checkpoint in Tripoli on Wednesday, claimed they were drinking whiskey, handcuffed her and that 15 of them raped her. "They tied me up ... even defecated and urinated on me, "she said, her face full of tears." Gaddafi militants violated my honor.
"Having said that, hotel staff and security personnel dragged out of the hotel despite the resistance of treated to oppose some journalists and jumped in a car. His story could not be independently verified.
