Human rights violations during the Gaddafi regime

During Muammar Gaddafi's rule over Libya, multiple crimes against humanity were committed by government forces against the Libyan population. This included extrajudicial killings, public executions, ethnic cleansing, and the torture of civilians. During the Libyan Civil War in 2011, Gaddafi's forces killed allegedly unarmed protestors and indiscriminately bombed civilian areas, drawing condemnation from human rights organizations.
