CAIRO- Libyan permanent representative to the Arab League resigned on Sunday and joined the protests in his country, Egypt's state-run MENA agency reported.

The Libyan permanent representative, Ambassador Abdel Moniem el- Honey, announced his resignation from all his posts in the Cairo- based pan-Arab organization and joined the "public protest" that began on February 15 against Muammar al- Gaddafi's regime, it added.

El-Honey expressed his refusal to kill unarmed protestors, saying "as a Libyan citizen, I condemn all these crimes which are close to the genocide acts."

I found this from the International News Desk of the China daily News. Surprising China would print stuff like freedom, democracy and protests.
