Libyan security forces have killed at least 84 people during the three-day anti-government demonstrations in the country. This
was conveyed by the international human rights organization, Human
Rights Watch (HRW) based on telephone interviews with local hospital
staff and eyewitnesses.
HRW also condemned the violence used against demonstrators in Libya. HRW urged the Libyan authorities to stop violence against peaceful demonstrators.
Libya struck anti-government demonstrations this week following the revolution in Tunisia and Egypt. The
demonstration was preceded by the thousands who thronged the streets in
the city of Benghazi to call for withdrawal of Libyan leader Muammar
Gaddafi.
The situation increasingly out of control with the defection of about 1,000 prisoners from the prison in Benghazi. Even
the three prisoners were shot dead by security forces while trying to
escape from another prison outside Tripoli, the capital of Libya.
Gaddafi's regime has promised to break all the attempts to overthrow the Libyan leader. Gaddafi came to power in September 1969 through a bloodless military coup
