Tripoli, Libya (CNN) — It has been almost two weeks since Eman al-Obeidy burst into our hotel in Tripoli, desperate for the world to hear her story of rape and torture. We had been trying since then to interview her in person and were finally able to speak to her Wednesday, against the explicit wishes of the Libyan government.
"You should not be allowed to do this," government spokesman Musa Ibrahim told me.
The interview with al-Obeidy was facilitated by Gadhafi’s son Saadi and was subject to a government review. We asked al-Obeidy if she would be willing to come to Saadi Gadhafi’s office. She agreed and Gadhafi sent a car to pick her up.
