TRIPOLI — The Libyan woman who burst into a Tripoli hotel to tell journalists she had been raped is now facing slander charges filed by the men she accused, a government official said Tuesday.
Iman al-Obaidi has not been seen since she was dragged by security guards and government minders from the Rixos Hotel on Saturday to prevent her from recounting her story of rape by 15 militiamen to reporters staying at the hotel.
Now, in the latest twist to the saga that turned her into a symbol of defiance against the regime of Moammar Gaddafi, she is being sued by her alleged assailants, said government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim. One of them, he said earlier, is the son of a high-ranking Libyan official.
