Mass graves of recent vintage have indeed been found — 13 of them confirmed by the Red Cross, or “about 20” found by the government, according
to the Transitional National Council’s humanitarian coordinator, Muattez Aneizi. More are being found “nearly every day,” Mr. Aneizi said.
“Mass” is slightly misleading, however, because the largest actual grave site found so far, in the Nafusah Mountains of western Libya, had 34
bodies. In many of the others, the victims numbered only in the single digits. Many are not even graves, but rather containers or buildings where
people were executed and their bodies left to rot.
The Red Cross counted only 125 dead from the 13 sites it confirmed, with 53 of those found in a hangar near Tripoli’s airport. While the rebels may
not have died in the numbers their side has claimed, there is no doubt that many were killed, often horribly, after having been taken prisoner. As the
Qaddafi government collapsed and its die-hards fled from Tripoli and other strongholds, such war crimes happened in many well-documented cases. They
just did not happen in many thousands of cases, judging from the available evidence.
There has been no explanation of the basis for either the council’s tally of 30,000 to 50,000 dead, or the number preferred by the new
government’s minister of health, Naji Barakat, a more modest 25,000 to 30,000.
At the Ministry of Health, Mohammed al-Ghazwi, who leads a newly formed Committee on the Dead, charged with confirming death tolls from the conflict,
was reluctant to give any numbers out. “Every day we find another grave, so I can’t give you a specific number,” Mr. Ghazwi said. “But it’s
about twenty-five to thirty thousand, like the minister of health said.”
Asked how many of those were based on documented cases of dead found so far, he said they were many fewer, but he could not give a number. “It’s
very hard to tell the real number because during the Qaddafi time they hid all of them,” Mr. Ghazwi said.
