PRESS RELEASE 26 FEBRUARY 2011

LIBYA17FEBRUARY Livestreams from Benghazi for News Orgs
Libya17February  broadcasts live from Benghazi, Libya. Mohamed M. Nabbous took part in the protests there and began livestreaming from the city almost immediately as he saw a need and had the know-how and technology. News organizations may broadcast Libya17Feb video feeds (Euronews, CNN, e.g., are primary users, and have interviewed Mohamed). 

The livestream has 7 webcams located in Benghazi, offers live and recorded interviews, footage, and statements from local, national and military leaders. Two channels are prepared for feeds from Tripoli as soon as they can get one. 

Libya17February in Benghazi also issued the "first newspaper from liberated Libya" two days ago and it is spreading like wildfire inside Libya and around the world, with people taking it upon themselves to download and print it and share it as far and wide as they can. View and download it here

We are working on English translations and have a team translating and transcribing important clips, as well as the newspaper. Events are moving rapidly and this is an all-volunteer operation, with volunteers from around the globe. Today, one started a YouTube Channel , with many videos to be uploaded in the future, and more being recorded every day. Other projects are in the works, including subtitles and a livestream on youtube.

Thank you for taking an interest in the Libyan Revolution, in the people of Benghazi who are working together and with the army to help to liberate Tripoli and all Libyans. It is an amazing thing to watch come together, and they are determined to end the tyranny and bring justice.

LIBYA17FEBRUARY Requests Medical Assistance From Abroad
This group is also helping coordinate medical assistance. They are in dire need of assistance in transporting critically injured patients abroad, as well as medical supplies. They request any and all help getting the word out to the world of these needs and serious contacts in the medical and diplomatic community.

Excerpt from Doctors Without Borders (MSF) Press Release 
“...Since the onset of violent clashes in Libya on February 17, MSF has been trying to position emergency personnel and supplies into the country by any means possible, including by land and air. Despite the urgent need for medical assistance in Libya, an MSF team carrying medical supplies, including kits for treating war-related injuries, has been blocked for two days at the Tunisian border. Another MSF team had reached Tripoli by airplane but was denied entry to the country and had to turn back...”
