Call to Stop Mass Killings

1. In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his Kin, and his Companions
PRESS RELEASE
Stop the MaSS KillingS of peaceful
DeMonStratorS in libya
Saturday 19th February 2011
This is an urgent appeal from Religious Scholars (Faqihs and Sufi Sheikhs), intellectuals,
and clan elders from Tripoli, Bani Walid, Zintan, Jadu, Msalata, Misrata, Zawiah, and
other towns and villages of the western area of our beloved Libya to all of humanity, to all
men and women of good will:
The Libyan regime has been firing live ammunition at peaceful demonstrators who have
been simply asking for their divinely endowed, and internationally recognized, human
rights. We witness before God that, as we write this (February 19, 2011, 6:00 pm Tripoli
time), hundreds of people are being gunned down with heavy machine guns near the
Central Barracks and Security Headquarters in Benghazi. This is in addition to the hun-
dreds killed and injured over the past three days in al-Beda, Darna, Shahat, Ijdabiah, and
other cities and towns in the eastern area of our beloved Libya. Please HELP! Please do
whatever you can to stop this slaughter.
We appeal to every Muslim, within the regime, or assisting it in any way, to recognize that
the killing of innocent human beings is forbidden by our Creator and by His beloved
Prophet of Compassion (peace be upon him), and that whoever commits such crimes-
against-humanity, or assists in committing them, in anyway, shall subject himself to con-
demnation to God’s wrath and eternal damnation. Human life is sanctified by God Himself,
and is protected by Divine Shariah and International Law. Do NOT kill your brothers and
sisters. STOP the massacre NOW!
We appeal to the faithful and brave Libyan people to help each other in all ways possible
and to remain united. This is what is commanded by Allah and His beloved Prophet
(peace be upon him).

2. ABOUT THE NETWORK OF FREE ULEMA – LIBYA
We are a network of some of Libya’s most senior and most respected Muslim Religious Scholars
with various specializations and tribal backgrounds from across our beloved Libya. Our network
also includes some of the most respected Sufi Teachers in our country. Some top Judges, Lawyers,
Doctors, Engineers, University Professors and Intellectuals, as well as Writers and Poets, are also
members. Our network includes both men and women, old and young, locally educated and ed-
ucated-abroad. We are not a political party, and our only agenda is that of upholding the highest
religious, spiritual, moral, and human values, and the service of our beloved Libya. We are diverse
groups of different schools and outlooks, and we believe in the richness of plurality, and the wisdom
of dialogue and communication with all other faiths and cultures. Our network is only one dimen-
sion of Libya’s very rich and sophisticated Civil Society, which has always been there, but has had
to go clandestine for many years because of the regime’s repressive policies. In the New Libya,
all these seeds will sprout into a rich and vibrant culture, unified, and mutually respectful. For the
time being, security conditions do not allow us to publish a list of members. We will publish such
a list as soon as we can.
