A nine-minute video surfaced online this week showing what appears to be Libyan prison guards abusing one of the sons of former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
It is not clear when or how the video was filmed, but it was posted by an Arabic website and has been widely circulated on social media.
The undated video is also clearly edited.
In the video, Saadi Gadhafi is seen blindfolded at first sitting in an office in what is believed to be al-Hadba prison in Tripoli, where he has been held since his extradition from Niger last year.
The blindfolded Gadhafi, in a green tracksuit with a shaved head, is made to listen to what sounds like the tormented screams of other prisoners being beaten up outside the room.
Several men in the video believed to be guards and prison officials -- some in uniforms, others in civilian clothing -- can be seen interrogating Gadhafi.
At one point, a seemingly distressed Gadhafi pleads to someone else in the room for a break.
"I swear to God, if you give me rest I will give you all the information," he says.
