A group of Libyans, received for care in Turkey during the war in Libya, demonstrated Tuesday before their consulate in Istanbul to claim the financial support they were promised.

 

Turkish police intervened to stop the Libyans demonstrators who came to call on their consulate, and claim the financial assistance that they had been promised but they have not yet obtained.

    

Injured during the fighting in Libya, these Libyans were welcomed and cared for in Turkey.

 

Some protesters even tried to enter the consulate, forcing police to intervene, according to Turkish television channel NTV. They were evacuated in police vehicles.
