Injustice Libyan Style

Reporters Without Borders decried the arrest of 52-year-old Libyan cyber-dissident Abdel Razak Al Mansouri on Jan. 12 for criticizing the Libyan government on a British-based Web site, akhbar-libya. Mansouri, a bookseller by trade, wrote about social issues and human rights. He is reportedly being held in a Tripoli prison, though his family has received no official word of the arrest. "The authorities already control all the traditional media and now they are trying to gag the Internet, the last window on the outside world still accessible to Libyan citizens," said Reporters Without Borders in a press statement.
