Tripoli Eyewitness
7/25/11 or 7/27/11


Ok just received a call from a friend of mine who made it to Tunisia, being smuggled in a supposed pro G truck which were in fact defectors

Will post main info here, first all pro G  working for G now seem to have special ID to travel freely in pro G held territory

30 + checkpoints on road to tunisia, At night lots of armed combat between pro G and #FF, lots of aggression on ppl trying to uprise

Many ppl are detained in secret places, and beaten -  in some neighbourhoods they hear ppl complaining at night ppl

In #Tripoli lots of meetings are going on with the revolutionaries; they meet more and more, as per his information

G is cracking down on them big time – at many rallies in recent weeks, ppl were forced and threatened to participate; my friend was

Ppl in souk al jummah are determined to push ppl to uprise, many meetings are made there to inform ppl about reality and show video

Ppl are missing few things in daily routine, but what is missing more is salary so ppl can buy

Many attacks still take place in homes by G forces since he wants to break ppl down and make sure none are demonstrating

It’s hard to get out of tripoli now, many are turned back on many of the checkpoints G forces refuse to let ppl leave

To get out of the country via tripoli now is mostly by smuggling, all foreign aid is supposed to go to #Tripoli  so that ppl go to G for their personal needs.

Hospital are missing more and more personnel as they are killed for being witnesses or simply disappear

Best way to leave tripoli is by night - more secure, less surveillance; G fear NATO - as my friend did this night

Schools open but still refusal from teachers 2 go back since not secure;  G now refuse them their salary, at first he bought them with it

Many mosques are now infiltrated and even Imams are targets of G if they do not support him

Feel s so good to know my friend is alive 7amdoullilah, will upload all the video he took from tripoli as soon as he has money for cybercafe

&amdoullilah he wanna cross back the border to join FF on #FF held territory, so rpoud of him... He say he wanna liberate #Tripoli

I was so happy i had to give all info, i'm estatic, u have no idea, HE IS ALIVE wohooo

My friend did confirm stories we heard about ppl being forced out if their houses for G rally, his family was threatened – that they would burn their house and kill his mother and sisters if he and his dad did not convince all the family to go to the square
