Tripoli, Libya, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Thousands of Libyans took to the streets Saturday to condemn the U.S. military attack on the Iraqi city of Fallujah.
The demonstrators gathered in front of the U.N. building in Tripoli carrying banners that denounced the "aggression on Iraq and the brutal massacres" against the Iraqi people by the occupation forces.
The protesters distributed a statement calling on the international community and organizations to "stop the bloody massacres against the Iraqis, especially those in Fallujah."
The statement said the assaults in Iraq were "forbidden by religion and by international law," and called on "resisting the foreign occupation by all means in defense of the land."
The Libyan protesters called on the Organization of Islamic Countries to take measures to "protect the Muslims in Iraq," while they called on the United Nations to "take the necessary decisions that commit the aggressors to an immediate ceasefire and ending the occupation of Iraq."
