Hassan Hassan Al Mariami, also known as Shnabu El Zawiyaa is one of thousands of political prisoners that were targeted, and captured by the Ghadaffi regime and has consistently been tortured for the past two months just because he expressed a desire for freedom and democracy. Shnabu El Zawiyaa was a successful businessman before the 17th February Revolution, but when the youth of Libya stood up and protested for a better Libya, he and countless a number of Libyans were kidnapped and imprisoned and are the subject of daily unthinkable physical and mental persecution.
At the start of 17th February revolution Shnabu El Zawiyaa stood up, holding a poster demanding freedom for the Libyan people. He became one of the icons of the revolution calling for self determination and democracy. “The women, children, men, and political prisoners like Shnabu el Zawiyaa who have undergone ridiculous acts of harassment and violations of human rights. He is one of the victims whose cause and circumstances must be shouted out for all the world to hear, said Oliver Kellman, the Managing Director and CEO of The OKW Group, currently in Benghazi, Libya. “Posters showing Shnabu El Zawiyaa can be seen all over Libya. Courageously, he stood up and defied the oppressive Ghaddafi regime because he could not live another day without true freedom.”
Araya Human rights organization, Tawasel and the OKW Group, demand the immediate release of Hassan Hassan Al Mariami and the thousands political prisoners of conscience, and holds Gaddafi regime responsible before the international court of justice if Mr. Al Mariami dies or persecuted.
