“I am very happy, very proud,” said Ahmed, who described her daughter as a 26-year-old law student in Tripoli. She denied a claim by Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim on Sunday night that Obaidi had been freed from government custody and was at home in Tripoli with her sister and brother-in-law…

“They said they will give her a new house and a lot of money and anything she wanted,” Modeer said, adding that the mother had relayed the message to her daughter by phone but that Obaidi had refused.

“She said, ‘I will die rather than change my words,’ ” Modeer said.
