The American family of a Libyan politician are pleading for her safe return after the women’s rights advocate was dragged from her home in Benghazi by military-clad officials last week.
“It’s an indication of further things to come should others step out of line,” Tim Eaton, a Middle East and North Africa researcher at the London-based think tank Chatham House.
But the kidnapping is a reminder that he has continuously rejected political authority, Eaton said. “His behavior indicates that he believes in military solutions.” Seham Sergiwa’s disappearance also signals the declining rights of women who had fought to carve out a role in the public sphere during the Arab Spring, said Inga Trauthig, a research fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence at King's College London.
The"silencing" of women was noted by the United Nations in its condemnation of the politician's disappearance, despite the House of Representatives not being recognized as the formal political body governing the country.
