Five years sentence for calling for democracy


Join Amnesty International and send message to President Muamer Qaddafi to release Fathi el-Jahmi
Libyan authorities arrested Fathi el-Jahmi in 2002 after he called for free speech and political reforms during a conference in Tripoli. For that "crime," he was sentenced to five years in prison. He was released in March 2004 following international pressure but authorities detained him again just weeks later after he repeated his call for democracy during a television interview.
