William Hauge, the British Foreign Secretary, recently spoke out against how Lybia's government is handling protests and unrest. Moammer Gadhafi, the leader of Lybia has met the newest wave of political reform in africa and the middle east with violence. Ordering his army to kill civilians and quickly losing control of Lybia to rebel forces city by city, Gadhafi has been criticized by many world leaders for his handling of the situation. As a response, Britain has frozen the accounts of Gadhafi and the rest of his household to impress upon Gadhafi that using violent means against his own people isn't tolerable. Along with the frozen accounts, Britain has also revoked Gadhafi's immunity.
