| Description: | Libyan Elections Men reading a poster. It is written in Arabic. Apparently it concerns elections in Libya. Crowds demonstrate peacefully but vocally. Various shots of Libyan men casting votes. Men pour a bunch of ballots onto a table to tally them. Shot of flag (presumably Libya's) on pole. Now demonstrators get a little violent; various shots of men throwing rocks, officials using tear gas, then one using a pistol. Police and/or soldiers wielding sticks (billy clubs) push a crowd back. (Libya became a united and independent kingdom in 1952 after being an Italian colony.) | |
