At least six thousand, three thousand of them in Tripoli, Libya died in suppressing the insurrection against the Muammar Gadhafi regime, said Wednesday in Paris, a spokesman for the Libyan League for Human Rights, Ali Zeidan. "The death toll across the country is six thousand," said Ali Zeidan at a press conference in Paris, before explaining that this figure includes about three thousand dead in Tripoli, the capital, two thousand in Benghazi stronghold insurrection in the east and thousands in other cities like Zauiya or Zenten.
Ali Zeidan said that balance, much higher than the figures circulated so far, could worsen. "These are the figures available but could be" higher, added Zeidan told reporters at the headquarters of the International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH). An earlier review of the FIDH on February 23 he spoke of 640 dead.
The Libyan government then gave the figure of 300 dead. But diplomatic means mentioned balances between one and two thousand dead. The head of the Libyan League for Human Rights also accused Chad of having a role in the operations carried out by foreign mercenaries to defend the power of Gadhafi.
He said that about three thousand mercenaries would be in Tripoli and three thousand on the outskirts of the capital. "Two generals target Chadian mercenaries" he lamented.
