Thousands of Egyptian protesters are maintaining a defiant presence in Tahrir Square in Cairo despite an earlier violent attempt by the security forces to evict them. Reports say at least seven people were killed. There were scenes of complete panic when hundreds of soldiers and police beat protesters on their heads. Hugh Sykes is close to Tahrir Square.

I can see Tahrir Square and the protesters there although not in such large numbers as they were earlier in the day. And indeed with their extremely violent charge with batons and tear gas, the armed forces here did drive most of the protesters out of the square for a while. And I was down between where I am now and the square - about 300 metres from Tahrir Square - a few hours ago, and the street - the main, one of the main Cairo's shopping streets - absolutely filled with thousands of protesters who were running away from the tear gas. But it now seems that a lot of them have poured back into the square.

Senior Libyan officials say the former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi, the most wanted member of Colonel Gaddafi's government still at large, has been captured alive in southern Libya. Mr Senussi, a brother-in-law of the former leader, had a brutal reputation among Libyans and is believed to have played a key role in attempting to crush the uprising when it began in Benghazi in February.

The Arab League has rejected amendments put forward by the Syrian government to its proposal to send a delegation to monitor the violence in Syria. It said the changes would radically alter the mission, but the Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem said that was not the case.

阿盟提议派出使团监督叙利亚的暴力事件，叙利亚政府对提议进行修改，阿盟随后对修改内容表示弃绝。称这些改变会极大改变这次使团的任务，而叙利亚外长Walid al-Muallem称事情不是这样的。

"The amendments do not interfere at all with the nature or details of the Arab League mission to Syria, and do not hamper its work or its freedom in practising its role. Rather they aim to put things in their right context and facilitate the work of the mission."

“这些修改并没有改变阿盟赴叙利亚使团的性质和具体细节，也没有阻碍其工作，干扰其履行角色的自由。相反，这样做是适应环境，为使团工作提供便利的。”
