Today, many people in
Libya are living in horror. The Libyan armed militias that helped disappeared Moammar
Kadafi are now using bombs and weapons against all Kadafi supporters. The
article “Libyan militias torture alleged Kadafi supporters” written by Emily
Alpert, stated that the Libyan militias have seized and detained people without
any legal justification, torturing them behind bars with metals, chains, and
other dangerous weapons. Targeting anyone that may seem to be on Kadafi’s side; even though
Kadafi is no longer alive many controversies keep arising, giving these
militias the power to take control over the citizens of Libya. This sort of
authority would be defined as coercion; here the militias are making use of
deadly machinery to have superior power over the Kadafi supporters, forcing
them to regret being on Kadafi’s side.
