Libyan demonstration against UN sanctions cross to Tunisia

A Libyan rally headed to Tunisia to support unity among the Arab peoples and to condemn toughening the sanctions against Libya for its refusal to hand over two Libyan citizens suspected of exploding a Pan American plane over Lockerbie. The demonstrators also expressed anger at the UN sanctions imposed on Iraq.

Libya had confirmed its commitment with continuing work for achieving the comprehensive Arab unity from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arab Gulf as a necessity to encounter the dangers and challenges faced by the Arab nation in its presence and its future.

A celebration was held on the Libyan-Tunisian borders on the occasion of the passage of the Libyan rally to Tunisia, during which a popular meeting was also held in the Ras Gadid region in Libya.

The march called on the Arab nation to lay aside all differences and to support efforts for Arab unity, especially at a time characterized by international alliances.
