Ahmed Gheriani shot because of refusing to say Viva Gaddafi
Ahmed Gheriani was a libyan rebel who became recently hero without his will: He was apparently killed by Muammar Gaddafi forces because of denying to say: “Long live (Viva) Muammar. The first images show Ahmed Gheriani lying face down on the asphalt of a highway in eastern Libya, while being injured and at the mercy of forces of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. While approaching the camera, a voice ordered him to return. Ahmed complies, groaning with pain. “Say ‘Long Live’ … Say” Viva Muammar ‘” shouted the man behind the camera. “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest)”, says Ahmed and shortly after that automatic gun are heard and the camera screen goes blank.

In Al-Marj, Gheriani’s native village, located in northern Benghazi and controlled by insurgents, the inhabitants salute the courage of young martyr and see his executioners as the embodiment of the brutality of four decades of Gaddafi’s authoritarian regime.
Ahmed Gheriani’s friends and family do not know exactly if he was killed or held captive by Gaddafi’s forces.
“After seeing the pictures, I could not move for 24 hours,” says his 40-year-old brother Abdullah. “We could not eat, drink or sleep.”
He thinks Ahmed was shot on March 6, after he had gone to the front, unarmed, to evacuate the wounded.
Gheriani Ahmed, 38, was described as an intelligent man, friendly, who was not interested in politics and had no experience of war.
Khaled al-Fazzani, a long-time friend, revealed that Ahmed Gheriani wept every time when he saw images of protesters injured or killed.
“He has always told me “I must go, I have to protect the people of this repression,'” Khaled remembers. “I told him that Gaddafi has planes, tanks, missiles. “You, you have nothing, you can not fight him but he replied to me that he just must go,”” Khaled added.

Gheriani Ahmed is one of the 400 Libyans in the east of the country who are missing from the beginning of the rebellion movement, according to a report of the Libyan Red Cross. The organization does not know if those missing were killed or are held captive.
“Once arrested, they disappear,” says Dina Jarbou, a Red Cross volunteer.
The rebels believe Gheriani was killed.
“We think he’s dead because that’s the way Gaddafi’s militants proceed,” said Mustafa Gheriani, a spokesman for the rebels. “They take no prisoners.”
In the family house, Ahmed’s bed is still opened. Another room is being built. He was going to stay there after he married and hoped to find the chosen woman by the summer.
“I asked him before he prepared to go: “Shouldn’t you not get married before you go off to war,'” reveals Khaled al-Fazzani.
Ahmed Gheriani replied: “I’ll marry in heaven.”
