"Tripoli is a civil city no weapons here; we just fight with stones, even the ambulances are full of mercenaries … you have to sign a document that you agree that your son/daughter was killed by protesters or they won't release the body … lot of people have gone missing … kidnapped from outside their houses, people paid 7000 dinars to kidnap … my friends were shot by snipers on Friday … they died, and an old man died in front of him as well …around 40,000 people were protesting … there many snipers around -i have videos, but they are after me – they will catch me," – an al Jazeera source, descibing the purest kind of tyranny now fighting for its life in Tripoli.
