Libyans clash with police over detained lawyer, source says - CNN.com: "Libyan police clashed with protesters chanting anti-government slogans and demanding the release of a human rights activist early Wednesday, an independent source in the country told CNN.
The about 150-200 protesters in the coastal city of Benghazi were supporting human rights activist and lawyer Fathi Terbil, who had been detained earlier, the source said.
Several people were arrested after police confronted the protesters, the source said.
But 'there is nothing serious here,' said a highly-placed Libyan source who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to talk to the media. 'These are just young people fighting each other.'
The source said the clashes were 'not political' and that 'Libya is not Egypt... This is not an organized revolution.'"
