The killing of Muammar Gaddafi took place on 20 October 2011 after the Battle of Sirte. Muammar Gaddafi, the deposed leader of Libya, was captured by NTC forces and executed shortly afterwards.[1]
The NTC initially claimed Gaddafi succumbed to injuries sustained in a firefight when loyalist forces attempted to free him, although a video of his last moments shows rebel fighters beating him and one of them sodomizing him with a bayonet[2] before he was shot several times.[3]
The killing of Gaddafi was criticized as a violation of international law.[4][5] Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch called for an independent autopsy and an investigation into how Gaddafi died.[6]
