Racism and anti-Semitism of Libyan transitional council

"The latter is especially notable in light of the extensive video evidence of rebel forces and “protestors” subjecting black African prisoners to horrific abuse. The black African prisoners captured by the rebels are commonly described as “mercenaries” by both rebel authorities and Western media.

Moreover, there have also been reports of black African civilians being rounded up and even slaughtered in rebel-controlled territories. (See, for instance, hereand here.)" (thanks Sabina)
