Children as young as eight are being raped in front of their families by
Gaddafi's forces in Libya, according to a leading charity.

Aid workers described horrific stories of widespread sexual abuse, including
one incident in which a group of girls was abducted and held hostage for
four days. 

When they were finally released, they were too traumatised to speak.

Other children have described being forced to watch as their fathers were
murdered and their mothers raped.

They told Save The Children that they themselves were then brually beaten
before being released.

Harrowing stories of sexual assaults against women and children have emerged
from those who have fled the besieged cities of Misrata, Ajdabia and
Rus-Lanuf.

Many families are now in temporary refugee camps in Benghazi, where they
talked to Save The Children staff. 

Michael Mahrt, the charity's child protection adviser, said: 'The reports of
sexual violence against children are unconfirmed but they are consistent and
were repeated across the four camps we visited.

'Children told us they have witnessed horrendous scenes. Some said they saw
their fathers murdered and mothers raped. 

'They described things happening to other children but they may have
actually happened to them and they are just too upset to talk about it -
it's a typical coping mechanism used by children who have suffered such
abuse.

'What is most worrying is that we have only been able to speak to a limited
number of children - what else is happening to those who are trapped in
Misrata and other parts of the country who do not have a voice?'.

Mr Mahrt said that some children are showing signs of physical and emotional
distress; they are withdrawn, refuse to play and wake up crying in the
night.

He added: 'Whenever some children hear a gun being fired they re-live the
terrible ordeal they have been through. It is clear that for many of them,
their suffering is far from over.'

There have been numerous reports of Gaddafi's troops - some fuelled by
Viagra - using rape as a weapon of war.

In the most notorious example, 28-year-old Iman al-Obeidi claimed she was
assaulted for two days by 15 men after being abducted at a checkpoint.

She was arrested after trying to tell her story to foreign journalists and
has subsequently been charged with slander. 

Doctors in Misrata have also treated patients who have been sexually
assaulted.

But in a conservative society where rape is heavily stigmatised, many women
will not tell even their close family what has happened to them. 

Rebel spokesman Abdelbaset Abumzirig, who is based in Misrata, said that
there has been a string of horrific assaults in Benghazi Street - parrallel
to Tripoli Street where a maor battle for the city was fought.

'The Gaddafi forces took control of Benghazi Street before we managed to
push them out,' he told Al Jazeera. 

'They have been ordered to rape because this means they are insulting
Misrata itself.'

He said that some families had spoken to human rights organisations about
the assaults

'Some have spoken, some others, you know the old traditions, they didn't
speak, but it's not a shame,' he added. 

In an interview with the Sunday Times, Dr Khalifa al-Sharkassi described how
two sisters, aged 16 and 20, had been assaulted by African mercenaries after
their brothers had joined the rebels.

The girls' mother was locked in another room while they were raped.

'Four or five Africans took turns raping both girls,' he said. '(Now) one of
them just sits and cries and looks lost.'

He said another victim had tried to clean herself with bleach after being
attacked.

One of his patients had given herself an injection of chlorine in the belief
that this would stop herself becoming pregnant.
