Salah Dau: Libya

Moammar Gadhafi Dept: Unable to hold back his emotions Tuesday, Dau wept openly as he cast a ballot for the first time in his life not in Libya, but in Canada's capital, according to CBC. "To be able to be free and express myself, express my opinion, to say what I feel about anything, it's just unimaginable." Salah Dau never allowed himself to believe there would be free elections in Libya, not so long as Moammar Gadhafi was alive. "I've seen only one regime in my life, 42 years, always under a dictatorship," Dau said after voting at a west-end arena and having his right index finger blotted with ink.
