Thousands of Libyan women march for 'no-fly zone'


Several thousand Libyan women marched through the streets of rebel-held Benghazi on Saturday, demanding a no-fly zone to stop Moamer Kadhafi from bombing rebel fighters.

"No-fly zone! No-fly zone!" chanted the crowd in English and in unison, waving Libyan flags and flashing victory signs as they marched along the seafront corniche in the country's rebel-held second city.

Students, mothers, grandmothers, children and toddlers walked hand in hand, most of them wearing headscarves and some with flags painted on their cheeks and Libyan flags wrapped around their foreheads, bandana-style. More...

Don't miss:
  1. Libya: The battle for Zawiyah...
  2. Gaddafi tanks move in to crush rebel town...
  3. To the people of the Middle East: Fight for freedom, not democracy...
