Hisham Ibn Ghalboun

Biography

Hisham Ibn Galboun was born in Benghazi in 1955. He attended elementary school at the Model School and then al-Baraka School, middle and high school at Salah al-Din Al-Ayoubi School, and then went to Tripoli to study mechanical engineering at Tripoli University. He currently resides and works in Manchester.

Hisham is a founding member of the Libyan Constitutional Union and has been a critic of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's regime since the mid-1970s, when he was a student at Tripoli University's Faculty of Engineering. He took part in the 1976 student uprising known as the "First Intifada," and was among the masses of students arrested and then expelled from university for their participation.

Political Career

Hisham travelled to Britain to complete his education and to continue political opposition to the Gaddafi regime in exile. His brother Ali settled in Manchester and studied mechanical engineering at Manchester Polytechnic until 1981.

He contributed with the martyr Ahmed Abdel Kader Al-Trimeani and others to the founding of the Libyan Opposition Student Union (British Branch) in 1979, and participated in anti-regime student activities in Britain, the liberation and distribution of the union's "April Martyrs" patrol, and in The demonstration, which took place in front of the Libyan Embassy in London on June 11, 1980, was organized to protest against the assassination campaign launched by the "death squads" sent by the Gaddafi regime to implement its decision to "physically liquidate" its opponents abroad, whom they called Ts. In his media, the victims of the BBC's Mohamed Mustafa, who was assassinated in the courtyard of Regents Park Mosque in central London after leaving Friday prayers on April 11, 1980; lawyer Mahmoud Nafi, who was assassinated on April 25, 1980; and student Ahmed Abu Ra'aa, who was assassinated in Manchester on November 29, 1980.

Hisham co-founded the Organization of the Libyan Constitutional Union, which was announced in Manchester on October 7, 1981-the 30th anniversary of the announcement of the Libyan constitution, which renewed allegiance to the king of the country, King Mohammed Idriss Sanussi, as a symbol of constitutional legitimacy in Libya, and raised the flag of independence abolished by Kadhafi immediately after his takeover of Libya by a military coup on September 1, 1969. He appealed to Libyan political activists and opposition in the diaspora to raise the national flag and adopt the Libyan constitution (1951) as a source of legitimacy [5] in the face of the illegitimate Gaddafi regime, pending the overthrow of the regime and the holding of a popular referendum under international supervision through which the Libyan people choose the form of the state and the system of government that they accept of their own free will after an appropriate period of the return of constitutional legitimacy to the country and security. The Gaddafi regime announced that their names did not exceed the number of fingers on one hand, and then became an official spokesman for the organization.

The threat of Assassination

Hisham’s family was pursued by the Gaddafi regime's "Death Squads" and his "revolutionary committees" and spent time under the armed guard of Manchester city police after targeting a home inhabited by an explosive device that exploded at dawn on March 11, 1984, and was placed by elements of the Libyan regime in a new wave of terrorism against its opponents abroad. Policewoman Yvonne Fletcher was shot dead by bullets fired from the Libyan embassy building while monitoring and organizing Libyan dissidents demonstrating in front of the embassy on April 17, 1984.

Since the beginning of May 2010, he has co-organized weekly vigils by political activists from Manchester and northern Britain to support the demands of the families of the victims of the Abu-Salim prison massacre, which killed more than 1,260 prisoners on the night of June 29, 1996 in Tripoli, and received the attention of international human rights organizations such as Amensti International and Human Rats, and showed solidarity with the vigil sought by the victims' families every Saturday night before a court in B.C. Ngazi to demand a fair investigation of the perpetrators of this crime.

He participated in the first demonstration in support of the February Revolution in exile in Albert Square on the morning of February 16, 2011, organized daily demonstrations in the city and distributed a print bulletin of the latest developments to educate public opinion in Britain and the media about the reality of what is going on the ground inside Libya to compensate for the lack of information resulting from the Gaddafi regime's cutting off of communication and the Internet in the early days of the uprising. Official support for the revolution and the severing of ties with the Gaddafi regime were demonstrated in front of the embassies of countries that were late in supporting the revolution, as well as in mass demonstrations in front of the Libyan Embassy in London until it was captured by national elements and the flag of independence was raised on its building. [11] He had an intense presence in the audiovisual in support of the revolution and to refute the counter-media by regime supporters before its fall. He did not leave behind institutions through which to work or build on them by ignoring them or indifference.
