East Libya Parliament slams violence by GNA against protesters during rallies in Tripoli

Benghazi, Libya, Aug 26 (Sputnik) The eastern-based Libyan parliament has firmly deplored violence against demonstrators in the capital of Tripoli by forces linked to the western-based Government of National Accord (GNA), Izz ad-Din al-Falih, the parliament’s spokesman in Benghazi, told Sputnik on Wednesday, adding that the authorities are closely monitoring the developments in the city.
Since Sunday, Tripoli has been engulfed in protests, with demonstrators demanding better living conditions, the resignation of the current administration and an end to corruption in the war-torn nation. Protesters are also dissatisfied with payment problems in banks and power outages for up to 10 hours a day. According to Arabic media, armed groups loyal to the GNA used firearms to disperse demonstrations in Tripoli's downtown.
"We strongly condemn violence and opening fire at demonstrators, as they demand normal life with the most basic human rights," al-Falih said.
