Alleged Libyan Rape Victim Deported From Qatar 
-----------------------------------------------



In Libya news, an alleged victim of rape by Col. Muammar Gaddafi’s
forces has been deported from Qatar to the rebel-held east of Libya. The
woman, Eman al-Obeidi, was detained in March after bursting into a hotel
full of reporters in Tripoli and recounting her ordeal. She fled to
Qatar shortly after being released. A friend of Obeidi's says she did
not want to return to Libya and now fears violence for criticizing
Libyan rebels.
