'Freeze Gaddafi assets in Malta and tell Sarkozy to stop weapons business' - AD

Prof. Arnold Cassola, Alternattiva Demokratika spokesperson on EU and International Affairs, stated: "The Maltese state should freeze immediately any assets of the Gaddafi family in Malta. This is the least that can be done now to make up a bit for the decades of servile boot licking by both the Nationalist and the Labour party officials, who have serious historical responsibilities, together with other European and World leaders, in giving a semblance of credibility to this callous criminal."

Prof. Cassola continued: "The Mirage fighter planes landing in Malta were armed to the teeth with French produced rocket pods and rockets.  The Maltese government should ask French President to immediately revoke all weapon licences to Libya and stop acting as the travelling salesman for French weapons and nuclear industry".

AD chairperson, Michael Briguglio, added: "Gaddafi is now being accused of genocide by his own Deputy Ambassador at the United Nations.  We urge the Maltese government to support the democratic non-violent forces of opposition in Libya, and the PN and PL to openly condemn the brutal methods used by the Gaddafi regime".
