For clarity I have created a new section called other which includes the use of mercinaries and attacks against black africans. I don't know how appropriate the title of the new section is or if there is a better one, but the information was wrongly placed in the Anti Gaddafi Forces section so needed to be placed somewhere else.
Will somebody please fill in all the human rights violations that were stated by by Pro Gadaffi forces? Right now the article is unbalanced. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 02:30, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey everybody. I am an inexperienced editor, so let me know if I do anything against the guidelines.
When I read this article, "Accusations Of Racism" did not seem directly relevant. This particular passage was the most problematic:
"Racism has been an issue in Libyan society before. In 2000, a pogrom broke out against black guest workers in Libya. In parts of Benghazi, blacks were barred from public transport and hospitals. Diplomats said that at least 150 people were killed, 16 of them Libyans. Libyans sheltering Africans were warned that their homes would be next."
This is article ought to be about human rights violations during the 2011 war. Yes, there was a pogrom against black Africans in the year 2000. However, the primary Anti-Gaddafi organizations, The National Transitional Council and the Free Libyan Army did not exist at that point in time. Opposition organizations that did exist in the year 2000, such as the National Front for the Salvation of Libya, played zero role whatsoever in the pogrom against blacks, since they were in exile.
According to the Economist article, (which can be found here- http://www.economist.com/node/392844) that is cited as a source, the only people accused of racism were an a members angry mob 11 years ago. I think it is misleading and inaccurate to list this pogrom as a human rights violation alleged to have been committed by "Anti-Gaddafi forces." Therefore, I am going to delete those five sentences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrogTrain ( talk • contribs) 01:03, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Here is a video from YouTube of what seems to be from a broadcast of Libyan state television.
The video shows the lynching of several Libyan soldiers, their photographs, ID papers, and interviews with their families. It has French subtitles. Someone with a better knowledge of French should watch the video and find out whats happening. -- Petri Krohn ( talk) 04:57, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
There have been allegations of homosexual rapes by both sides. Shouldn't that be included into the article? -- 41.16.156.222 ( talk) 08:35, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
I've removed an old POV template with a dormant discussion, per the instructions on that template's page:
If editors are continuing to work toward resolution of any issue and I missed it, however, please feel free to restore. Cheers, -- Khazar2 ( talk) 16:26, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Human rights abuses in Assam which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 13:45, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
