"Gangraped" woman charged with slander

"Gangraped" woman charged with slander

The Libyan woman who claimed she was gangraped, defecated and urinated on by 15 of Gaddafis men over two days, has been charged with slander.

Libyan authorities labelled her a drunk, a prostitute and a thief, reported The Daily Mail.

The men accused by Iman al-Obeidi are now suing her. A son of a high ranking Libyan official was among those she claimed had raped her.

Al-Obeidi was taken into custody after bursting into the Rixos Hotel in Tripoli in a dishevelled and desperate state.

She was dragged away by officials and has not been seen in public since.

The regime had promised that foreign reporters would be able to speak to her.

Her parents claimed last night that she was being held hostage in Gaddafi's compound in Bab Al-Aziziya.
