MOAMMAR Gadhafi's embattled government yesterday denied accusations that Libyan government forces had committed crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Libyan diplomat Mustafa Shaban told the United Nations Human Rights Council it was the government that was "the victim of a widespread aggression" and blamed the news media, opposition and African and foreign mercenaries for human rights violations and even "acts of cannibalism."
Shaban's comments came after the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court said he was investigating whether Gadhafi provided Viagra to Libyan soldiers to promote rape. And a UN panel said last week its investigators found evidence that government forces committed murder, torture and sexual abuse.
The panel also found evidence that opposition forces had committed acts that would constitute war crimes.
