Amnesty International is getting a taste of Karma and reality: Muammar Gaddafi is leading the Human Right Hero of 2011 award of Amnesty International USA's online poll
Many people in the world are happy to see Muammar Gaddafi on the top of voting for the "Human Rights Hero of 2011" award, after he had been due to receive a United Nations award for his contribution to human rights, but instead one month before it was due, the United Nations allowed bankrupted western countries to wage a massive war on Libya, killing over 100,000 and razing entire cities to the ground, while the media focused on the spreading of rumors and disinformation
The report (PDF) said that the Gadhafi regime protected “not only political rights, but also economic, social and cultural rights,” praised it for the nation’s treatment of religious minorities, and the “human rights training” received by security forces.

This is interesting, and I agree that Gaddafi did good things for his country.
Are there any other sources about this Amnesty poll? And are there any documents from the UN to confirm they were going to actually going to give him an award?

i've had a google search for more information on this that ISN'T on a conspiracy / libyan site and found no evidence of this to be true. Can anyone see any msm news on this, or at least an impartial source. I find it surprising that this news is limited to 'select' pro Gadaffi sites if it is true.
