Libyan rebels are facing calls to halt alleged abuses in a number of seized towns. In a statement, Human Rights Watch cited allegations of attacks on Gaddafi supporters, as well as looting and arson. Meeting with Russia’s foreign minister in Washington, D.C., U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed reports of Gaddafi’s talks with France in a bid to end the violence.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “We are still getting contradictory signals from Col. Gaddafi’s camp. He has yet to meet the red lines that are set by the international community to cease violence against his people, withdraw his forces, and step down from power. So, although neither of us can predict to you the exact day or hour that Gaddafi will leave power, we do understand and agree that his days are numbered.”
