The buried alive in the prison hospital in Benghazi as political prisoners have died

Benghazi - Do not look for them any more, prisoners buried alive by Colonel Gaddafi. In recent days, from underground dungeons where they had been imprisoned, had sent signals that they had made more and more feeble, until it disappears altogether. Moved by pity cialtronesca before escaping a guard had left their cell phone.

But without the charger. "The last SMS message arrived five days ago," says the electrical engineer Salim Abdullah, showing us how to test the display of his mobile phone. "They asked for help, saying he had no more water, and they were dying of thirst. Then nothing." Dozens of volunteers have searched for them, therefore, in that city under the city made up of tunnels, escape routes for Colonel Gaddafi, bunkers, ammunition dumps and, indeed, secret prisons.

But no one has been able to locate them, because only the faithful could go to the Colonel's underground Benghazi, in the days of the uprising maps have been lost, or were burned. The jailers knew that the inputs have fled, or died during the bitter fighting that has delivered the city into the hands of insurgents.

Meanwhile, political prisoners were turned off slowly, one after another, as if under a mountain of rubble after it survived a terrible earthquake. Salim meet on the ruins of the "Castle", as the Libyans call the stronghold of Tripoli that the strong man had built for himself in Benghazi, and that, as once the huge residence of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad, he claims to be impregnable.

The engineer explains: "In the last message also said that in the distance they could hear the sound of a muezzin, but here, under our feet, there are miles of tunnels. You, the Europeans might have the technical means to detect them. Here at we, unfortunately, we can only dig. " Also in the enclave of the "Castle", a team of volunteers discovered another dungeon.

To access it, after having crossed a thick reinforced door two spans, you need to squeeze into a tight casing that goes down to less than one meter cliff in the bowels of the land. The walls of the first room are dirty smudge of dried blood. Continuing, we arrive at the wall of the condemned, riddled with bullets up to capacity of Kalashnikov.

The many Libyans now take to the trail to visit that place of detention and killing, leaving stunned by the ferocity of those who have driven for 42 years. We go to the headquarters of the new masters of Benghazi, to ask the prisoners abandoned in their cells underground. "Several teams have searched for them, day and night, digging, tearing down walls, testing the ground looking for a possible hiding place," said Ali El Sadar, coordinator for the many journalists who rushed in Libya freed.

"We also asked for help from a local oil company, which instead of finding new oil fields would have to find our brothers and our fathers imprisoned somewhere Colonel." A few days ago, about twenty meters underground, the volunteers have found another secret: the joy after the release of ten prisoners are still alive, the men's team made a gruesome discovery.

"Piled one on top there were forty corpses, some charred, others killed by bullets, and some horribly mutilated," said Ali El Sadar. They were soldiers who refused to fire on demonstrators.
