Britain’s Cameron says Libya violence unacceptable

British Prime Minister David Cameron condemned on Tuesday Libya's crackdown on demonstrations against the rule of Muammar Gaddafi. "I condemn absolutely what I've seen in Libya, where the level of violence committed by the regime on the people is completely unacceptable," Cameron said.
Security forces have cracked down fiercely on demonstrators across the country, with fighting now spreading to Tripoli after erupting in Libya's oil-producing east last week, in a reaction to decades of repression and following uprisings that have toppled leaders in Tunisia and Egypt.
"I would call on Libya today to end the violence, to give full protection, particularly to foreign nationals, (and) to those who might want to leave," the British premier told a news conference in Kuwait.
"I believe there needs to be a full investigation into the events in Benghazi and eastern Libya. I call on them to give access to their country and lift the restrictions of the Internet and press," he said.
Human Rights Watch says at least 233 people have been killed in Libya and opposition groups put the figure much higher but independent verification is impossible.
