Libya’s Saleh calls on Security forces to protect protesters amid Rallies in Tripoli

Benghazi, Aug 25 (Sputnik) – The speaker of Libya's Tobruk-based parliament, Aguila Saleh, has called on the security forces to protect peaceful demonstrators in the capital of Tripoli amid protests against corruption and the country’s current administration.
Mass rallies erupted on Sunday in Tripoli with demonstrators demanding better living conditions, the resignation of the current government and an end to corruption in the war-torn country. According to Libyan media, the protests resulted in clashes between security staff and a number of protesters. In response, the United Nations Support Mission in Libyan has urged the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) to conduct "an immediate investigation into the excessive use of force by pro-GNA security personnel."
"The speaker of the House of Representatives affirms the right of citizens to peacefully protest and express their opinion, as it is a human right guaranteed by charters, Islamic and international laws, provided that they do not harm other people and do not cause damage to public and private property," Saleh's press office said in a statement, a copy of which was obtained by Sputnik.
