Day of Rage' protests in Libya yesterday have increased pressure on Muammar Qaddafi, the Arab world's longest-ruling dictator, with funerals today potentially serving as a catalyst for more violence.
At least 24 people have been killed in Libya's antigovernment protests since activists took to the streets late Tuesday night and staged a "Day of Rage" yesterday. A number of other activists have been wounded in the clashes with security forces, reports Human Rights Watch.
Libya’s protests, which are expected to continue today, come on the heels of popular revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt that resulted in the removal of the leaders of both nations. Libyan demonstrators are seeking the removal of Muammar Qaddafi, the Arab world’s longest-ruling dictator. He has controlled the country since taking power in a 1969 coup.
