Libya court scraps law banning glorifying Gaddafi

Libya‘s Supreme Court scrapped a new law that criminalised the glorification of ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi or his supporters on Thursday after opponents argued it violated freedom of expression. A lawyer who appealed against the measure said the ruling was an important step in ensuring democratic freedoms weeks ahead of the country’s first free elections since last year’s war ended Gaddafi’s 42-year autocratic rulehttp://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/libya-court-scraps-law-banning-glorifying-gaddafi/
