London: Tuesday 22nd Feb

"Hundreds of the UK's Libyan community came to London from all over the country to protest against the Gaddafi government and the UK governments association with the despotic regime. Close to a thousand people gathered in front of Downing Street waving pre-Gaddafi flags and chanting anti-Gaddafi slogans. The protest lasted around 3 hours and finished when Libyan community leaders handed in a petition to Downing Street calling for sanctions against Colonel Gaddafi and a no-fly zone over Libya to stop mercenaries from entering the country."

Gaddafi should be in a lane in South Armagh with half his head missing, stripped to his underpants with a hood over his head and attached to a milk crate. Best thing for counter revolutionary touting scum.

Is that the only reason he should be there?

The daily protest is still taking place every day 2pm-6pm.
The London ambassador is still loyal to Gadafi and still flying his green flag outside the London embassy.
People are still fighting and dying for their freedom in Libya right now.
Please come and protest alongside the people outside the London embassy and show solidarity with the Libyan people as they struggle to remove Gadafi.
It is rumoured that this coming Thursday March 10th there might be another pro-Gadafi counter-demo so please consider coming then to add some volume, numbers and moral support!
It is also rumoured that the "going rate" being paid to people to attend 'pro-gadafi' demos has risen from £300 to £2,500.
Unfortunately the anti-Gadafi protesters can't offer anyone cash to turn up, but they have definitely got the better songs!
All welcome.

Wednesday March 9th, the 21st day of protest.

A small but determined crowd opposite the embassy continue to demand that Gadafi leave:

...while across town Libyan + UK + International youth take more direct action on the roof of Saif Gadafi's London mansion:

Thursday 10th March, the 22nd day of protest

Large and loud crowds turn out after rumours of a pro-gadafi demo

A protester somehow managed to evade a massive police guard, almost cut down Gadafi's flag and attached a small red-black-green 'Free Libya' flag to the first floor balcony:

Namibia <3 Libya
UK <3 Libya
Freedom 4 Libya Our Home

Friday 11th March, the 23nd day of protest

After yesterday de-flagging the large plain green Gadafi flag has disappeared from the Embassy and a smaller one appeared right up on the roof. Time for the jet-pack?

Hollowood, LA has it's "Walk of Fame"
Knightsbridge, London has it's "Walk of Shame"

Gadafi + bus

Note: Abu Salim prison ... Amnesty International has called for a independent inquiry into deaths that occurred there in 1996, an incident which they and refer to as a massacre. Human Rights Watch believes that 1,270 prisoners were killed... more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Salim_prison

...only after 5 years in 2001 did Libyan authorities began to inform some families that their family-member had died but provided no body, details or cause of death. Finally in 2004 Gadafi admitted that killings had taken place in Abu Salim. For all this time Libyan authorities pretended the prisoners were still alive, 'passing on' letters, food and clothes sent while families held vigils hoping to one day see their loved ones released. We still don't know where in the deserts the bodies are buried.

Amazing start-to-finish video footage of how the guy got onto the roof of the Libyan Embassy, pulled down gadagfi's greemn fl;ag and put up the red, black & green Libyan flag:



Ps watch till the end for a very interesting 'punchline' (I won't spoil it for you - also requires a bit of interpretation/sepculation as top what is going on).
