Berri Demands Immediate Arab Governmental Recognition of Libyan National Council
House Speaker Nabih Berri demanded on Friday an immediate recognition by all Arab governments of the Libyan rebel National Council.
He said in a letter to the head of the Arab Inter-parliamentary Union Mohammed bin Mubarak al-Khulaifi: “Immediate calls should be made to all Arab governments for the immediate recognition of the council which represents the popular revolution and the people’s resistance to the barbarism of the Gadhafi regime.”
“It’s unacceptable to leave the Libyan people exposed before the regime’s” attacks and the “political and media deception aimed at covering up its crimes,” he added.
Berri also called on the union to demand Gadhafi and his aides’ immediate trial “for their war crimes and crimes against humanity.”
