Amnesty: Libya's rebels must end abuse of blacks
None
Amnesty International is urging Libya's rebels to end attacks against blacks, saying fighters engaging in such abuses should be immediately detained and investigated.
Amnesty said on Wednesday that its delegation in Tripoli has witnessed a number of incidents in which the rebels detained or abused black hospital patients. Black Libyans and workers from Sudan, Chad, and other sub-Saharan African nations have been targeted by the rebels because of opposition claims that Muammar Gaddafi's forces recruited African mercenaries to fight in the six-month civil war.
