The government ordered Libya's National Oil Corporation, Libyan Airlines, the Libya Company for Insurance, and the Internal Investment Company to move to Benghazi. Hanan Al-Newaisery, a human rights lawyer and activist, was assaulted and beaten in a Misrata courtroom, as was her father, who required hospital care after trying to protect her from the attackers. Onlookers stood idly by during the incident, and no arrests were made. Al-Newaisery said she had been threatened repeatedly before the attack.
