After a week of deadly unrest in the North African country of Libya, tens of thousands of people celebrated Sunday as they retook the streets of the eastern city of Benghazi. According to Human Rights Watch, more than 300 people have been killed in Libya this week. For more on the situation in Benghazi, Democracy Now! interviewed a protester named Haithem Feb. 20 by phone.

  • كفاكم قثل للمدنين اللبيين الأحرار ، كتائب القذافي الإجرامية هذفها قتل

    الناس بدعوى حماية الدكتاثور الإرهابي و عصابته المجرمة ، لم يعد لكم حظ بين

    اللبيبين لقد رفضكم الجميع و أنتم تعلمون، و تريدون إرهاب الناس لكي

    تستمروا في الحكم و الإرهاب ، اللبيبين إختاروا الحرية و الديمقراطية ،

    بعيدا عنكم يامجرمين.
