Abdulla Naas climbs out of the window of the 10 million-pound ($16 million) London house he’s lived in for almost two weeks because he’s never had the keys. Naas has a message for Saif al-Islam Qaddafi, the Libyan dictator’s son that he and the police say is the owner.

“We want to return this house and other assets to the Libyan people,” said Naas, a 22-year-old Libyan from the opposition stronghold of Benghazi. “They are the true owners. As soon as all the properties are returned to the Libyan people, I’m out of here.”
