It has been six weeks since the assassination of Hanan al-Barassi. People like the human rights activist Rida al-Tubuly, who lives and works in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and fights for a society where Libyan women can live in safety. Human Rights Watch has described the assassination as a "cold-blooded execution". The 58-year-old human rights activist is professor of pharmacology at the University of Tripoli and has been working for equality for decades. Amnesty International denounces the assassination of lawyer Hanan al-Barassi, who was shot today in Benghazi in public.
