Fears of a humanitarian crisis in Libya are growing amidst escalating violence between rebels and forces loyal to the regime of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Anti-government groups have seized control of more areas as they close in on the capital city, Tripoli. On Sunday, protesters claimed the town of Zawiyah, just 30 miles from the capital. As residents celebrated, one demonstrator called for Gaddafi’s prosecution for ordering attacks on protesters.
Protester: “It’s time for him to be in (front of) justice. We need justice, because we have people has been killed, several people. Can you imagine somebody open his chest to pick out bullets? And the coward, he shoot the guy, and that’s my nephew, and he is [dead] there.”
