The National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL) was a political opposition group active during the rule of the Gaddafi regime in Libya. It was formed in 1981 and called for major liberalising reforms such as democratic elections a free press and the separation of powers. During the 1980s it pursued a campaign of armed opposition to the Gaddafi regime and made several coup attempts the most notable being its 1984 armed assault on Gaddafi’s Bab al-Azizia compound in Tripoli.
