The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor says he has gathered new evidence Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi is using rape as deliberate tactic against government opponents. Luis Moreno-Ocampo said the Gaddafi regime is medicating its forces with Viagra to encourage the raping of women.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo: “Now we are getting some information that Gaddafi himself decided to rape. And this is new. It never was the pattern he used to control the population. The rape is a new aspect of the repression. We are finding some elements confirming this issue of acquisition of Viagra-type of medicaments, who show in the policy. They were buying containers with products to enhance the possibility to rape women.”
Ocampo requested arrest warrants for Gaddafi and two others for crimes against humanity last month.
