Hweida Mahmoud Shibadi, 40 and Nabila Abdelrahman Abu Ras, 40, are both lawyers in Tripoli. Hweida passed along information regarding Gaddafi's military movements to a family member who is apart of the NTC, which resulted in NATO airstrikes. Nabila helped organize Tripoli's first lawyers' demonstration in February and then, late in pregnancy, printed revolutionary leaflets that woman tossed from speeding cars.
