The European Union (EU) has urged Libyan authorities to immediately stop using violence against citizens who are manifested in the country and listen to the "legitimate demands" of the people for reforms. At a working dinner extraordinary foreign ministers of the Twenty-seven have agreed a statement which "condemns the repression against peaceful demonstrators" and expressed "extreme concern" about the situation in the country and the number of deaths shuffling.
The message of the Twenty comes just hours after it was known that the regime of Muammar al-Gaddafi EU has threatened to stop cooperating with immigration if their representatives continue to make comments on events in the country. The ministers, despite everything, have insisted on censoring the actions of the Libyan government.
"Freedom of expression and the right of assembly (...) are human rights and fundamental freedoms of every person to be respected and protected," the text that the High Representative, Catherine Ashton, has agreed with ministers. In that statement, the Tripoli Twenty also call it "immediately cease blocking access to the Internet and mobile networks" and to be allowed to work freely to the media.
"The EU expects full cooperation from the authorities in the protection of EU citizens," he adds. After dinner held to discuss the situation in the Mediterranean, focusing primarily on developments in Libya, Foreign makers return to the matter on Monday during the formal session of the Council of Ministers.
