Human Rights Concerns in Libya

The Takeaway

As the Gadhafi regime falls questions still remain about the state of Libya and the future ahead. Where is Moammar Gadhafi, anyway? And what will happen to his loyal supporters? Also, we have been hearing reports of human right atrocities that are coming to light now that the regime of Gadhafi is coming to a close. The AP is reorting that more than 10,000 from Moammar Gadhafi’s prisons have been freed  since the rebels entered Tripoli last week.  In such a chaotic and unstable situation, information can be hard to verify. BBC News Middle East Correspondent  Wyre Davies  joins us to talk about some reports that have recently been revealed.
