Australian Lawyer Libya Arrest: What's the full story?

I came across this story on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation website - it's about an Australian UN lawyer and diplomat Melinda Taylor who has been arrested in Libya after interviewing Saif Gaddafi. She went in with international criminal court workers and she's now been detained in Libya.

I wonder though, what the full story could be? It seems extraordinary that the new Libyan government has detained someone working with the International Criminal Court and even more odd that there is no information about the circumstances, how long she will be held and no clear understanding of why the new government, which is meant to be working with the international community, would detain her.

It's really worrying - hopefully we'll know more soon.

Australian Women's Writers Challenge

This is a fabulous challenge and site that's gaining interest in Australia and beyond:

http://www.australianwomenwriters.com/

Highly recommend taking a look and sourcing some manuscripts by women writers so you can get reviewing!

It's basically a way of increasing awareness of Australian female writers and some of their great work.

ANYONE can take the challenge - male or female!
