The CEFR of deaths in protests in Libya rises above 170 people. It is the latest figure supplied by the human rights organization Human Rights Watch based in New York. The real figure could be higher, and that in accordance with information provided by the organization, this figure is conservative and has been collecting interviews with witnesses and hospital staff.
In contrast, the Libyan Government has not provided any number of wounded or dead, or has made any comments on violence in the country. The British Foreign Secretary, William Hague, said yesterday that it was known that only one hospital had 35 bodies. Quryna, the newspaper's son Seif el Islam Gaddafi's son, has acknowledged 24 dead in Benghazi and killed while trying to attack police stations and barracks.
The agency quoted witnesses in the city of Benghazi to tell how the security forces fell yesterday to a fortified residential area in the city center from which buildings were shooting people returning home after participating in protests by assassination of former days. "There have killed dozens of people ...
We are in the midst of a slaughter," said a witness to the shooting, adding that he had accompanied some of the victims of the shooting at the city hospital. In the same hospital, a doctor confirmed to the agency that the victims had numerous injuries from high velocity rifles. Muammar Gaddafi decided yesterday to quell the protests Libyan mortar fire and machine guns, according to witnesses quoted by the television channel Al Jazeera.
The first images that come out of the country, home videos recorded by the demonstrators themselves show armed groups harassing people and men fell by the bullets. The brutal response of the military made about 50 religious leaders appealed to the religion of the soldiers, who are Muslims to stop killing their countrymen.
"We call on every Muslim who is part of the scheme or assisted in any way, to recognize that killing innocent human beings is forbidden by our Creator," said the statement, released by the religious authorities in many Western cities. "Do not kill your brothers and sisters. To the slaughter now." Despite appeals Gaddafi yesterday imposed a blanket of silence about their country and on the fifth day of protests against his regime went beyond even less information than in previous days about the bloody repression of the popular rebellion that cries out for his downfall.
In Libya there is no international press, as there were in Egypt or Tunisia, to cover a revolt that local media virtually ignored. Much of the information leaves the country through social networks, but on Friday the regime cut off access to Facebook and Twitter, and yesterday, the Internet, following the example of what he did earlier this month President Hosni Mubarak Egypt.
Al Jazeera, the pan-Arab television has not been authorized to enter Libya, but now the system strives for can not be seen in the country interfering satellite signals. The limited information obtained out of the country, largely through phone calls or thank you, for example, a video smuggled out by some travelers.
This opacity makes it even harder to figure out what really happens in the most prosperous and least populated of the Mediterranean African countries, but also highlights, along with the ruthless repression, the determination of Gaddafi, which has been almost 42 years power at any cost to become a perennial leader.
Yes seems to Benghazi (1.09 million) and Al Baida (210,000 inhabitants) have escaped, at least partially and for long hours, the authorities' control, that to frighten people the police placed snipers fired on the crowd. It is also opened fire on the crowd from helicopters. Gaddafi repressed, but he, as prone to speak on other occasions, remains silent about the biggest crisis we have the system for 42 years.
Libyan television continues to spread, for the fifth consecutive day, images of his supporters with portraits of the leader and extolling its virtues.
