Libyan security forces have killed at least 84 people in a violent response during three days of protests, said the New York-based Human Rights Watch. On its part, the Libyan government shut off Internet early on Saturday.
The protests calling for the departure of Moammar Gadhafi, Libya's leader since 1969, have reported mainly in the east of the country. "The Libyan authorities should immediately end attacks on peaceful protesters and protect them from assault by pro-government armed groups," the organization said in its statement.
