The authorities of Ta' Giorni Libyan School this afternoon refused to haul down the official all-Green Libyan flag, despite the protests of a group of Libyan men.

Talks were held between the school authorities and some of the protesters, without success.

Some of the protesters and an employee of the school almost came to blows at the school's gate but were held apart by the police.

The protesters said they would repeat their protest tomorrow.

Earlier today the green flag was replaced on the flagpole of the Libyan embassy by the pre-Gaddafi flag.
