| [MAGHAREBIA] Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... teachers rallied Thursday (September 26th) outside the Mermaid School to protest the kidnapping of four girls in the past week, Libya Herald reported. In the latest incident, a 14-year-old was snatched Wednesday while waiting for her mother in front of the all-girls school in the capital. According to witnesses, two armed young men grabbed the girl and forced her into an unregistered car with tinted windows. More demonstrations to call attention to the crisis will be held after Friday prayers in several Tripoli neighbourhoods. Some 47 young women have recently been kidnapped throughout the country, a teacher told Libya Al Ahrar TV. |
