Al Qathafi Facing ICC Charges of Using Rape as a Weapon

At a UN news conference Tuesday, the ICC prosecutor said the question until recently had been whether the Libyan leader himself could be associated with the rapes "or is it something that happened in the barracks?"

"But now,” Mr Moreno-Ocampo said, “We are getting some information that Al Qathafi himself decided" to authorise the rapes, and this is new,".

He went on to tell journalists: "It never was the pattern he used to control the population. The rape is a new aspect of the repression. Apparently, he decided to punish using rapes."

Mr Moreno-Ocampo repeated the allegation of use of impotency drugs, saying his team was finding "some elements" confirming the purchase of "Viagra type of medicaments." He said there was evidence of Libya acquiring "containers" of such drugs "to enhance the possibility to rape women".
