42 years of fear, horror and dead. It's more than be able to know the lastest news..

I agree. The Internet actually is one of the tools used to show what is 
happenning.
A few years ago, this kind of uprising happenned but was crushed almost as 
severly as this time, but then there was no way for the world to know
what was happenning. The point is that Internet enables real-time communication 
and sharing.

We are in pain for the people of Libya in face of the atrocities. The people 
shown courage to face planes, tanks for their right to be free.
All the best to them.

Speaking personally, I am utterly appalled by the events taking place
in Libya. The news reports coming in constantly here are extremely
distressing. I condemn outright the actions reported: that the Libyan
army is openly bombing its citizenry, shooting peaceful protesters,
and probably other even more appalling violations of human rights.

I apologise if my post appeared dispassionate, or without compassion.
I assure you I am extremely distressed by the reports of human rights
violations and the direct harm being committed on the people of Libya.

My expertise is as a telecoms and Internet engineer. This is an
Internet Society forum. The only way I can directly help, right now,
is to publicise the facts about the specifics on disruptions to a
vital medium giving voice to an oppressed people. To do so I seek the
facts.

The Internet has proved to be a crucial aspect of reporting and
monitoring the events in Libya, and giving a voice to its people.These
things are vital. I seek to understand, and then publicise what is
happening to Internet infrastructure in Libya in order to empower
those seeking to resist its repression.

I share your clearly apparent distress.

I repeat my call for further information on the specifics of events in Libya.


My heart goes out to the people of Libya and others suffering around the world,


Narelle Clark
