Tripoli, February 24: 130 Libyan soldiers have been executed for refusing to open fire on pro-democracy protesters, International Federation for Human Rights says.
An amateur video footage shows the slain soldiers with their hands tied behind their backs.
This comes as there are more reports of defiance among army ranks and soldiers who have refused to obey orders by embattled Muammar Gaddafi to shoot peaceful protesters.
The rights group also said the harsh crackdown on protesters in Libya is “crime against humanity,” dpa reported on Wednesday.
