Democracy Now: Protesters Plan Rally in Libyan Capital

Protesters are said to be preparing for a major demonstration in Tripoli today. Most of eastern Libya remains under the rebellion’s control. In the port city of Benghazi, protesters have set up neighborhood councils after ousting Gaddafi’s forces.

Protester: “My people are dying in here, because Muammar Gaddafi is killing us, because we are dying, because we are fighting ’til we die. We have no mercy—he has no mercy anymore.”
