" Freedom is a inalienable rights of individuals. A just government should protect its Constitution and its laws. The human being is an autonomous and responsible agent capable of reasoning and choice and should be respected. "
Such confidence was pronounced Saif el-Islam, son of Muammar Gaddafi favorite for the succession, in his doctoral thesis in Philosophy filed in September 2008 with the prestigious London School of Economics. (...)
The London School of Economics student who accepted a donation of 1.5 million pounds (1.75 million euros) a year after the presentation of the thesis, announced yesterday that it is investigating allegations of plagiarism hanging over Saif el-Islam while babbling about the money obtained from the dictator's family. (...)
The thesis, written by Saif el-Islam or someone paid for it, whether original or copied, it is extremely surprising. Even if he wrote it, it is conceivable that, at least, monitored, or at least chose the theme.
Gaddafi's son, 38, educated in the UK and Austria, not only argued for greater democracy in the international arena but throughout the 429 pages of his thesis made multiple references to the need for internal democracy within States. (...)
The school has responded in recent days to the issue of possible plagiarism after protests from students. "We take allegations very seriously and are reviewing the matter under the standard protocol, "a spokesman said yesterday the London School of Economics told this newspaper.
As for the donation made in 2009 by Family Foundation Gaddafi in his favor, ensure that so far only received 300,000 pounds and a half a million promised. The institution says that will not charge the rest and has cut all programs with the Libyan authorities. " ( El País, 02/03/2011, p. 6)
