Members of the Libyan community in Japan and others staged a demonstration Wednesday in Tokyo calling for the ouster of dictator Moammar Gadhafi and an end to his regime's bloody crackdown against protesters seeking an end to his 40-year rule.
More than 70 demonstrators from Libya and other northern African nations, as well as from Japan, gathered in front of the Libyan Embassy in Daikanyama, Shibuya Ward, holding banners and placards and chanting slogans in Arabic, English and Japanese.
"We want the massacre of Libyan civilians to stop immediately," said Adel Suliman, one of the organizers of the demonstration.
