Libya's representative to the EU has defected, protesting against Muammar Gaddafi's bloody regime

LIBYA'S EU ambassador Hadeiba Hadi has defected along with his staff, the latest in a string of top diplomats to end their support for Muammar Gaddafi's government.

"After more than four months of the blood-letting of our people, my colleagues and myself at the Libyan popular bureau in Brussels find ourselves obliged to announce our decision to no longer represent the regime," he said in a statement.

European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton welcomed his decision to sever links with the Tripoli regime in protest over the violence.
