In the nearby eastern town of Benghazi al-Baida, people were bringing tents to camp out on the streets, Reuters reported on Friday.<br \/>Some pro-government activists have also been reported on the streets shouting slogans in support of Gaddafi.<br \/>In defiance to warnings by government forces against demonstrations, thousands of protesters took to streets of Benghazi and al-Baida on Thursday. At least six people were killed and more than forty were reported injured.<br \/>The protesters, inspired by the recent revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt that unseated two long-time authoritarian rulers, have been demanding the ouster of the despotic rule of Gaddafi.<br \/>HRW has issued a statement on the recent violence in Libya, saying &#8220;Libyans should not have to risk their lives to make a stand for their rights as human beings.&#8221;<br \/>Meanwhile, human rights group Amnesty International has also urged the Libyan government to stop its crackdown on peaceful demonstrations.<br \/>Britain and the European Union have urged the Libyan government to avoid violence and demanded that it allow \u201cfree expression.\u201d<br \/>Gaddafi came to power 41 years ago in a military coup.
