An international rights group is raising money to help a disfigured Ethiopian woman who says she was tortured by a relative of Libya's Moammar Gadhafi.
Anti-Slavery International and the U.S.-based CNN television network are raising funds for the treatment of Shweyga Mullah.
She is hospitalized in Tripoli with burns covering her head and torso. Mullah says Gadhafi's daughter-in-law, Aline Skaf, tied her up and poured boiling water on her head. Mullah was a caretaker for the family's children.
News reports from Algeria indicate Skaf and her husband, Hannibal Gadhafi, are among the former Libyan leader's relatives who have fled to Algeria.
