Jesus Hidalgo (March 27, 2011).

Staff writer, Nic Robertson (March 29, 2011). "Está libre la mujer que acusó violación en Libia: funcionario‎ (Spanish) (English: Official:The woman who accused Libya of rape is free)". CNN. Además, en la Wikipedia se creó un artículo sobre ella, donde se relata su aparición en un hotel de Libia, para relatar que había sido violada por seguidores de Gadhafi, indicó el diario The Guardian. (English: In addition, a Wikipedia article was created on the incident, which tells of her appearance at a hotel in Libya, to tell that she was raped by followers of Gadhafi, according to The Guardian.)
William Belle (April 1, 2011). "Defections in the Libyan Regime". Oye! Times. After entering the hotel and finding foreign journalists in the restaurant, al-Obeidi showed her injuries, which The New York Times described as "a broad bruise on her face, a large scar on her upper thigh, several narrow and deep scratch marks lower on her leg, and marks that seemed to come from binding around her hands and feet." Speaking in English, al-Obeidi said that she had been stopped at a checkpoint near Tripoli when she was in a car with her brother-in-law. When the security learned by her accent of her eastern Libyan background, she was ordered to produce her identity card, and detained her when they understood that she was from Tobruk and lived in Benghazi, both anti-Gaddafi forces' strongholds, and kept her in custody for two days. She went on to say that she had been tied up, urinated and defecated on, and raped by 15 men, with some of them videotaping the humiliation. She also pleaded for friends still held captive. Al-Obeidi said that local residents near her place of detention had helped her to escape. Al-Obeidi's actions began what has been described variously as a wild scuffle, a brawl, and a melee, as government supporters tried to silence her. Government minders and security forces pushed aside intervening reporters, punched Jonathan Miller of Channel 4 for coming to the woman's defense, damaged a CNN camera, threatened the Sky News team with a gun, and wrestled and kicked Charles Clover of the The Financial Times in a struggle for his recording device. Waiters and other members of the hotel staff revealed themselves to be members of government security; they accused al-Obeidi of being a "traitor to Gaddafi", and two women grabbed table knives to threaten both her and the journalists, and one of them threw a blanket over al-Obeidi's head trying to muffle her. A Reuter's reporter was the only journalist who was able to speak with her; the rest of her statements were captured by cameras. Al-Obeidi was finally subdued, dragged out of the hotel and driven in an unmarked car to an unknown location. The incident provided reporters with a firsthand account of the methods of Muammar Gaddafi's government and further strained relationships between the international media and Libyan authorities over the government's tight control of the foreign reporters and their access to Libyan civilians for independent information.
Bent Tandstad (April 2, 2011). "500.000 underskrifter for Iman (Norwegian) (English: 500,000 signatures for Iman)". NRK. Ifølgje Wikipedia er det ingen som har sett henne sidan 26.mars. (Norwegian) (English: According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iman_al-Obeidi Wikipedia), no one has seen her since 26 March.) {{cite news}}: External link in |quote= (help)

A fact from Iman al-Obeidi appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 April 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that The Washington Post named Libyan female lawyer Iman al-Obeidi, who accused Muammar Gaddafi's troops of politically motivated rape, a "symbol of defiance against Gaddafi"?
