NPR’s Andy Carvin talks in this NPR memoriam about Mohammed (Mo) Nabbous, the citizen journalist who started TV Libya Alhurra with his laptop on February 18 and was assassinated by a sniper’s bullet on March 18.

One month to the day of reporting minute-by-minute action of a people’s uprising against tyranny. With no international press and the only TV outlet Libyan State TV, Â Mo was the only voice of Free Libya for days.

He was silences and his life taken by pro-Gaddafi forces, but his work is remembered here and in the hearts of the hundreds who followed him from all corners of the world.
