Libya is one of several countries in the region to have seen pro-democracy campaigns since the fall of long-time Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January.

February 19 - Benghazi doctor: 'They are firing on civilians'

A doctor in Benghazi has been speaking to the BBC about his experiences trying helping those injured when Libyan troops opened fire on anti-government protesters.

Gunfire raged around him while he was talking to Radio 5 Live's Stephen Nolan, at around 2200 local time on Saturday.

He said at least 20 people had been killed and that a number of demonstrators had been shot in the head and chest, in what he described as "a massacre".
