The protests were raging in Tripoli after five days of brutal repression

The outcry against the regime of Muammar Gaddafi is not silenced, despite the severe repression that is leaving a trail of blood in the country. The latest report provided by the advocacy organization Human Rights Human Rights Watch raises to 233 the number of people have been killed since the protests began last Tuesday.

Of these, 60 have died today in Benghazi, a city that is becoming a real battlefield. Hospital sources quoted by Al Jazeera Sunday warned that the figure would exceed 200 people. Other evidence suggests that along with the dead are about 900 wounded, and only on the morning of Sunday at least 100 bodies have been recovered from the Jala hospital for burial.

In the center of Tripoli heard gunshots and sirens of ambulances, said residents of the capital, where several foreign companies, especially big oil companies have decided to evacuate on Monday morning to their expatriate workers.

But the fear of becoming a victim of this brutal repression is not daunted at the protestors. For the fifth straight day, tens of thousands of Libyans have marched through the streets of Benghazi, east of the country after burying the dead on Saturday. And the rebellion has already begun to take hold in the capital, where so far there had been sporadic protests.

Witnesses said they heard gunfire in the center of the capital and in some districts and the military have fired tear gas to disperse the demonstrators. They are living, apparently, violent clashes between supporters and opponents of the regime. They have also begun to spread rumors, which reflects the network Al Jazeera, that Gaddafi had already left the country.

The information comes with a dropper. The opposition is to be heard through the Internet, but Internet service remains cut, the company said estaounidense Arbor Networks, which monitors traffic. However, in the early hours of Sunday, the opposition website al Youm Liby could report that a total of 208 people had died in the protests against the regime.

Despite the climate of terror that reigns in the streets, between 20,000 and 30,000 people have come back on Sunday to demand the fall of Gaddafi. Amnesty International warns that the scheme would be hiring foreign mercenaries to quell the protests. Several sources have noted that "yellow helmets" as they call the African mercenaries of various nationalities have carried out "genocide" in the city of Derna, east of the country, where he burned bodies on the road to the airport.

According to this witness, Derna is completely "under siege" by armed troops and their inhabitants do not have food or other commodities. The same source also speaks of several cities "liberated" all or part of state power. One example appears to be Zouia, located "under the control of protesters," a human rights activist, who said he has been burned a house in that town Gadhafi and that the military and police have joined the protest.

Dozens of judges, lawyers and academics have focused in front of the court to order an end to the killing. Meanwhile, the state news agency Jana has published a government statement which ensures that the security forces have arrested dozens of foreigners, Tunisian, Egyptian, Sudanese, Turkish, Syrian and Palestinian had been "specially trained and equipped with plans to sow unrest in Libyan territory.

The agency also noted that Libyan authorities did not rule out that the Israeli secret service "Mossad" are behind the alleged network.
