The event started with a film about Innas Dokali an activist . She participated in 17 Feb revolution . she was arrested in Busalem prison. She said that she worked in an NOG that helped detainees who suffered under the regime

Presentation of Idriss Almesmari.
He talked about the families of Busalem prison inmates . they used to bring clothes and things for their relatives in prison who were already massacred and the suffering they sustained because of this.

My mother gave me confidence and i want to covey this to my daughters.
I was arrested on 15 Feb after the first demonstration in Benghazi and taken to Tripoli jail. I was blindfolded . I heard noise and uproar. It was horrible. They told me you are the one who spoke to Aljazeera . they tortured me and they threaten to rape Benghazi daughters.
They striped me and told me that we are circumcised unlike the Foreigners you want to bring to Libya .It seemed there was a campaign against the revolution. Really, human history denounces this tragedy . the regime wanted to break the will of women in Libya. These young people who took to the streets. women are behind the courage of their children they encouraged them to protest and rise up .I consider all abused women in Libya my daughters and sisters

Presentation
My story happened before 17 Feb . my father was the chief of Libyan Army.we were the most persecuted family in Libya. This is my story: our women were imprisoned –our homes were looted. I did not see my father and mother till I was 12 .it was orphanage, but I am proud .we will not leave this land . my story is like all stories of abused Libyans . when I gave birth to my son Mahmud knew that I have strong soul. He is the free son of Libya who will take revenge, My both my sons ,Mahmud and Mohamed joined Tripoli freedom fighters in the front, they were 17 and 20 . One of them spoke to me by phone and said we have conquered Bab Alazizia mother.
