Dedicated to the murdered peaceful protesters under dictator Gaddafi's brutal 42 year regime, February 2011. To help, please distribute and bring attention to your local governments and media outlets.

Libya has no professional journalists beyond that of state-controlled media and television. No visas have been offered to any outside news (CNN, AlJazeera, MSNBC, CBS, etc). There are NO JOURNALISTS to record the horrific killings of peaceful protesters for democratic reform. Libya is a big country with a small population (6.5 million). All information on the revolt and subsequent clashes have been from the citizens themselves, under the possible penalty of jail or death.

4. How terribly sad.......

that people are being murdered in cold blood so the rich can
maintain their control. But.....I think the days of the rich
rulers may be coming to a swift end.
Everyone should be required to watch what is happening......

Libyan Internet Disconnect – RENESYS
Posted on February 19, 2011 by admin

Renesys confirms that the 13 globally routed Libyan network prefixes were withdrawn at 23:18 GMT (Friday night, just after midnight Saturday local time), and Libya is off the Internet. One Libyan route originated by Telecom Italia directly is still BGP-reachable, but inbound traceroutes appear to die in Palermo. A minority of our peers report some surviving paths through the peering connection between Level3 and Telecom Italia, but traceroutes into those prefixes fail, suggesting that the Libyan cutoff is complete.
