At least 17 people were killed in the Gargur district in Tripoli by pro-Gaddafi forces according to BBC News.
Human Rights Watch says that pro-Gaddafi forces were holding the dead in a building belonging to the Libyan Internal Security Forces and that they were physically tortured before they were killed. According to a doctor, half of the dead were shot in the back of the head, making it hard to identify their faces.
