The US government has expressed concern for the safety of the deported Libyan woman [GALLO/GETTY].

UN refugee agency criticises deportation of the Libyan woman who claimed she was raped by Gaddafi's troops in March.

Libyan woman who said she was raped by Muammar Gaddafi's troops has been deported from Qatar where she sought refuge, and is now in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, a UN official has said.

Iman Al-Obeidi flew via Qatari military jet to the opposition-held city of Benghazi, where she is now staying in a hotel, Vincent Cochetel, the UNHCR representative in Washington, told the AFP news agency on Friday.
Jalal el-Gallal, an opposition spokesman, told the Associated Press news agency that al-Obeidi was welcome to stay.

"This is her country," el-Gallal said.

The UN refugee agency said Obeidi had refugee status and should have been allowed to stay in Qatar. It said her deportation runs contrary to international law.

Obeidi "is a recognised refugee, and we don't consider there is any good reason for her deportation," agency spokeswoman Sybella Wilkes told the AP.

All Arabian Autocratic Governments are insensitive to the victims of brethren!
