confirm that, by the grace of Allah, freedom fighters were able to free my father, Dr Abdurrahman Sewehli (PhD in engineeering, UK) and my 2 brothers from their 3 months of captivity in Tripoli under Gaddafi's forces. Libyan FFs from many areas were inviolved in freeing my father and getting him to safety. I have spoken to my father and he is in good health and spirits. My father said that he was impressed by the high morale of the FFs that helped him and those he met on his journey to safety. My father, along with my brothers, was involved in the protests during the first 10 days of the uprising, and he spoke on Arabic TV, mainly AJA, against Gaddafi's atrocities and demanded that he leave as the Libyan people did not want him. He spoke using his own name, and was taken away from his own home in Tripoli. Well, alhamdulillah, he is free now, and I am sure that Gaddafi, who has some history with my father, is fuming!
