The untold truth about our culture!

Following is an excerpt from a press release by the Human Rights Watch, "Libya: Women, Girls Locked Up Indefinitely Without Charge," published February 27, 2006. You may read the full article in English or Arabic.

"Libyan authorities are holding many women and girls in these facilities who have committed no crime, or who have completed a sentence. Some are there for no reason other than that they were raped, and are now ostracized for 'staining their families' honor.'

The full report about this topic, "A Threat to Society?" is available in Arabic and English.
