Libya: Abu Salim Prison Massacre Remembered

The sixteenth anniversary of the Abu Salim prison massacre on June 28 to 29, 2012, offers victims' families across Libya the first chance to commemorate the 1996 tragedy without fear of government repression. The government should establish a justice system that can and will prosecute and fairly try individuals responsible for the egregious crime, in which more than 1,200 prisoners were shot and killed.
