Libyan dictator Colonel Moammar Gadaffi is continuing to target political exiles in Britain -- the so-called "stray dogs" of his brutal regime -- and has refused to remove a million-dollar bounty on the head of his most prominent opponent in this country.
Libyan dissidents living in Britain have condemned the "indecent haste" with which British Prime Minister Tony Blair flew to meet their country's leader last week without first insisting on democratic reform and the lifting of restrictions on legitimate political opposition to the dictator.
Ashur Shamis, a journalist who has lived in Britain since the 1960s, has been named by the Libyan Ministry of Justice and Public Security as one of the country's six most wanted men. His picture and colourful details of his alleged crimes have been posted on the ministry's website with a reward of a million dollars "to anyone who assists in apprehending him and handing him over to trial before the Libyan courts to be tried for the crimes he has committed".
