Gadaffi's visit to France sparks protests - by Ben Hall in Paris
Rama Yade, a junior foreign minister, attacked civil rights abuses under Col Gadaffi's regime, telling Le Parisien newspaper that the timing of his visit, on international human rights day, was "scandalous". Ms Yade warned her own government not to promote commercial ties with Libya while ignoring torture, censorship and history of support for terrorism under his 38-year long rule. France stood for "more than a trade balance", she said.
