利比亚领导人卡扎菲的政府目前面临新的日益增强的要求他停止暴力镇压反政府示威者的国际呼声。
法国总统萨科齐要求欧盟对利比亚实施“具体的制裁”。他星期三在一次内阁会议上表示，那些在利比亚参与还在进行的暴力的人必须知道，他们将“为他们的行动承担后果”。
欧盟委员会主席范龙佩星期三谴责了他称为对利比亚示威者进行的“暴力、侵略和恐吓”。他呼吁“立即停止使用武力”。
英国首相卡梅伦说，他希望看到一个联合国安理会决议案，谴责利比亚对抗议者使用武力。联合国安理会在星期二举行的一次会议上对卡扎菲的镇压行动表达了“严重关切”。
伊朗国营媒体说，艾哈迈迪内贾德总统敦促卡扎菲满足民众提出的要求。这些报导说，艾哈迈迪内贾德对利比亚政府针对本国公民的“恶劣表现”表达了愤怒。
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s government is facing new and stronger international calls to stop a violent crackdown on anti-government protesters.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has called for the EU to impose “concrete sanctions” against Libya. In a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, he said those involved in the ongoing violence in Libya must know that they will “assume the consequences of their actions.”
European Council President Herman van Rompuy on Wednesday condemned what he called “violence, aggression and intimidation” against Libyan demonstrators. He called for an “immediate end to the use of force.”
British Prime Minister David Cameron said he would like to see a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Libya’s use of force against protesters. In a Tuesday meeting, the Council expressed “grave concern” about Mr. Gadhafi’s crackdown.
And Iran’s state-run media says President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has urged Mr. Gadhafi to meet public demands. The reports say Mr. Ahmadinejad expressed outrage at the “bad behavior of the Libyan government” toward its citizens.
