Libya Alhurra TV (Arabic: قناة ليبيا الحرة) is a TV station founded by Mohammed Nabbous on 17 February 2011. The station is the the first private television station established in Benghazi, Libya. The channel's purpose is to provide the world with news, and exclusive on-ground footage from Benghazi during the strong 2011 Libyan uprising.
On March 19, 2011, Nabbous was killed by pro-Gaddafi troops during the Second Battle of Benghazi. His wife Perdita, announcing his death on the same day, vowed to continue with the channel in his stead, and requested original contributions of raw footage from pro-opposition individuals both inside and outside the country.[1]
