(CNN) -- Two British female activists were raped two days ago in the eastern
city of Benghazi and four suspects have been arrested, Libyan officials said
Thursday.
In a statement posted on his official Facebook page, Libya's Deputy Prime
Minister Awad al-Barassi said the women, who are sisters, were kidnapped
Tuesday and raped in front of their father.
According to al-Barassi, the young women are British citizens who were born in
Pakistan and were part of Turkish non-governmental organization IHH's aid
convoy to the Gaza Strip.
Al-Barassi and Libya's Interior Ministry said four men involved in the incident
had been arrested and security forces in Benghazi were pursuing a fifth person.
While al-Barassi said it was unclear whether the men were part of the
"revolutionary brigades" that serve under the country's security ministries,
the Interior Ministry blamed the incident on "outlaws."
The Libyan state news agency LANA, quoting security sources in Benghazi,
reported that other members of the aid group also were assaulted by a different
armed group and two activists who were kidnapped are still missing.
Al-Barassi said he visited the victims and met with their father at a Benghazi
hospital on Thursday to apologize on behalf of the Libyan people and government
for this incident. He told them it didn't represent the Libyan society and its
Islamic values.
He said the family was in a "very bad psychological state."
In an interview with a Libyan TV channel, al-Barassi said the women and their
father were on their way to Benghazi's Benina International Airport when they
were stopped at a checkpoint nearby. The women and their father were kidnapped,
and the man witnessed the rape of his daughters, he said.
The deputy prime minister said he was in touch with the British ambassador to
Libya throughout the day.
"We are aware of an incident in Libya, involving a number of British nationals
who were part of an aid convoy. We are providing consular assistance," a U.K.
Foreign Office spokesperson told CNN.
The Interior Ministry said in a written statement that the father, along with a
translator, notified police of the incident on Wednesday.
Lt. Majdi al-Erfi, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, said the family had
returned to Benghazi after the aid convoy was turned back by Egyptian
authorities. He said the family was on a bus when they were stopped at an
"unofficial checkpoint" by armed young men in military uniforms.
According to al-Erfi, the family was held at the checkpoint and "its members
assaulted while two outlaws ... kidnapped two of the young women and took them
to a farm on the outskirts of the city to carry out the crime."
The remaining members of the humanitarian aid convoy are at the Turkish
consulate in Benghazi, officials said.
Al-Barassi promised the results of the investigation would be made public and
said those involved would stand trial soon.
He said the young women were wearing veils and "Free Palestine" T-shirts.
Two years after the start of the revolution and a bloody civil war that
overthrew Libyan dictator Moammar Qadhafi in 2011, the government is still
struggling to exert its authority and control the hundreds of militias, most of
which continue to operate freely across the country.
