Militias Dominate Libya

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.
