Thank goodness she's alive. She is apparently staying with some friends in Tripoli, but is constantly being chased by Gadhafi's supporters, her life being threatened at every turn. With the help of reporters and resistance supporters, she was finally able to get a hold of a satellite phone and speak with her mother, who showed similar courage in an impossibly difficult time. I hope that she is able to find a way out of Tripoli and spread her message to the rest of Libya. To come out and speak against Gadhafi in his own city has already dealt quite a blow to the credibility of his regime.
Should anyone read this who can offer her some kind of help, I beg of you to help her. Her story must not be silenced. She is a crucial figure to the free Libyan resistance, and if we lose her, we lose the fighting spirit of the rebellion.
