Last week, we reported on the shocking revelation that Eman al-Obeidy, the Libyan woman who claims she was gang raped by Gadhafi’s security forces, was deported back to Libya after escaping to Qatar. The international community expressed frustration and worry that the woman may be vulnerable back in her homeland. But now, al-Obeidy is safe once again. CNN has more:
On Sunday, a high-level U.S. State Department source told CNN that al-Obeidy was on her way to Malta with her father, and would head to a processing center in Europe before leaving for a final destination. It may take weeks before she gets to that destination.
Another U.S. State Department source said Sunday the United States was deeply concerned about her well-being, and worked closely with officials in Europe and Libya to get her safely out of the country. The same source said the U.S. is “prepared to provide whatever help and support Eman may need.”

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 12:01amIt is good to see that she has escaped from that hell-hole Libya and she is seeming to be okay now. I hope she can soon be reunited with her parents and that they are okay.
Life under any tyrannical regime is like this. This is what it looks like when you lose your freedom.
This woman was one of the lucky ones to escape. There’s many more left behind whose faces you will never see, and whose stories might never be told.
All tyranny (fascism, Marxism, Socialism, Communism) leads to death by government.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 11:39pmI have to say, if they’re going to send our tax dollars to these sh$%hole countries that want us all dead, then it should be used to save people like this (if indeed she DOES need saving that is) instead of letting them cut checks to the families of “martyrs” with it, or some other type of BS payout that goes against us.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 7:59pmWait a minute? Could this be a baby being ripped out of an incubator set up? The people taking her away may not even have been Libyan but the whole thing staged. How did she then get away from them in the first place only to tell us she was being sent back yet again…? Getting us all stirred up for her safety. Didn’t the right to protect act get implemented right after she burst in on the reporters to make her debut? Just wandering. I don’t have the resources to cut through a possible CIA stunt for public outrage to action.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 7:09pmAlthough it wasn’t very clear from that CNN video that she is in Romania,–don’t expect journalistic accuracy from the liberal media– I certainly hope she is safe, and her nightmare is over. That unfortunate woman, can you imagine….

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 2:04amIt is the western countries – most often the USA – that comes to the rescue of people persecuted by despots. And to the aid of a muslim, in this case.
One would think that the message might be starting to get through to even the most brainwashed citizens of these repressive regimes: You are living in tyranny, stop knocking the west and change your country.
