Libyan rebels free 10,000 from Gaddafi prisons

None

A rebel military spokesman says rebels have freed more than 10,000 from Muammar Gaddafi's prisons since entering Tripoli last week.

 

But Ahmed Bani said that some 50,000 people are unaccounted for. Gaddafi's regime sought to break the uprising that broke out in mid-February by locking up thousands of people. Many have been released, but evidence has emerged that regime forces executed dozens of prisoners as rebels seized the capital. (AP)
