More than 10,000 people gathered to mourn one of the Libyan rebels credited with capturing ex-leader Muammar Gaddafi last year. Omran Ben Shaaban died on Tuesday after being kidnapped, shot and tortured by supporters of the late dictator.

The 22-year-old's body was later flown to his western hometown of Misrata.

The government said it would honour Mr Shaaban with a funeral fit for a hero. In Tripoli, protesters called for the government to avenge his death.

Mr Shaaban was kidnapped by armed men in July and held for 50 days in the town of Bani Walid, a former Gaddafi stronghold that lies south-east of the capital Tripoli.

He was freed last week following the mediation efforts of Mohammed Magarief, Libya's interim leader and president of the ruling General National Congress (GNC).

Mr Shaaban arrived in Misrata with torture marks on his body and a bullet wound near his spinal cord, according to reports. He was taken to Paris for treatment, but died late on Tuesday.

Mr Shaaban came to prominence on 20 October last year when he was pictured at the scene as Col Gaddafi was dragged from a drainage pipe where he was hiding in Sirte.

The GNC mourned the "loss of a brave hero" and has said it will take all necessary measures to bring the perpetrators to justice, according to a statement issued on the official Lana news agency.
