New mobile phone video has emerged from Libya of the moments leading up to the death of Muammar Gaddafi. The United Nations high commissioner¹ for human rights has said there should be a full investigation² into how Colonel Gaddafi was killed. Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Misrata.

利比亚新流出一段卡扎菲死前的手机视频，联合国人权高级专员生产机就对卡扎菲上校的死因进行全面调查。Gabriel Gatehouse在米苏拉塔报道。

Today new footage emerged of Colonel Gaddafi's final moments. He's seen being led away on foot by rebel fighters who quickly surround him. Guns are pointed³ at his head, and voices can be heard arguing over whether to kill him. This footage appears to have been filmed later. He's still alive, and he's been lifted onto a truck. Some time after that, he's filmed lying on the ground where he appears lifeless. Several hours later, he was pronounced dead. No one knows who fired the shot that killed him.

今天的新视频记录了卡扎菲上校的最后时刻，他被很快围上来的叛军拖着脚，枪口对着脑袋，能听见争论是否要杀他的声音。这段视频显然是后来录的。他还活着，被抬上一辆卡车。一段时间后，视频显示卡扎菲躺在地板上，看起来已经死亡。几小时后他被宣布死亡，无人知道谁开枪杀了他。

Contrary to Islamic tradition, his body is yet to be buried and lies in a cold storage room in Misrata. The body of one of Colonel Gaddafi's sons, Mutassim, is also in cold storage and has been on display. It has two gunshot wounds - one in the neck and one in the chest. Another son Saif al-Islam, who was widely considered to be the heir to Colonel Gaddafi, is thought to have fled Sirte as NTC fighters took control of the town. Some members of the interim⁴ authorities said he'd been wounded and captured by revolutionary fighters, but there's been no independent evidence of this.

与伊斯兰传统相反，他的尸体并没有被掩埋，而是躺在米苏拉塔的冷库了。卡扎菲上校的儿子穆塔西姆的尸体也在冷库中供参观，上有两处枪伤，一处在脖子，一处在胸口。另一个普遍被视为是卡扎菲上校继承人的儿子赛义夫·伊斯兰，据说在NTC武装人员控制苏尔特时已经逃离。过渡当局的一些成员说，他已受伤，并被革命武装分院捕获，但对此目前并无独立的证据。
