Libya's Ambassador in Amman Mohammad Barghathi on Thursday announced his resignation from his position as ambassador due to the current events in his country, Jordan state-run news agency Petra reported.
At a press conference held at his residence in Amman Thursday, Barghathi said the bloody events in Libya to which the Libyan people are falling victim are "unimaginable and unbelievable".
He stressed that his meetings with decision makers there were "always about reform", adding that he had often warned of the dangerous developments in Libya, inviting some people's "suspicions", Petra reported.
Barghathi noted that the country is more important than any other things, saying that he had sent a message to officials in Libya expressing his readiness to contribute to any tangible efforts towards reform.
The message received no reply, according to Petra.
The diplomat voiced his "sadness and pain" over the "horrific conditions" the Libyans are going through.
In Jordan, condemnation of the excessive use of force by Libyan authorities continued.
On Thursday, Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh met with a group of Jordanian youths who delivered a written and signed letter that demanded "practical measures to pressure the Libyan regime to end the bloodshed", Petra reported.
The young Jordanians also called for immediate aid and support from the Jordanian people to be delivered to their "brethren in Libya".
In his meeting with them, Judeh explained the Jordanian stand in the current unrest in Libya and the steps taken by the government to ensure the safety of Jordanians there, according to Petra.
Meanwhile, Jordanian civil society organisations were among 777 Arab NGOs condemning the Libyan regime's "crimes against humanity" and calling for "immediate UN measures" to protect the Libyan people.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the NGOs condemned the "excessive use of force" by the Libyan regime which has turned into war crimes and crimes against humanity, causing "an alarming number of deaths".
The statement referred to the "killing of unarmed civilians" as a crime against humanity according to Article 5 of the Convention Against War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.
The NGOs expressed their respect for the "conscientious objection" of the Libyan army officers and pilots who disobeyed orders to target civilians and requested asylum in Malta instead, the statement said.
They also called for amending Arab constitutions to include articles that criminalise those who order the armed forces to attack the people, confining the army's tasks to defend the country and its people rather than rulers and their thrones.
On Tuesday, Jordan rejected the use of excessive force against civilians by the Libyan authorities in a foreign ministry statement.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mohammad Kayed said in the statement that these actions and the means and methods in dealing with civilians constitute grave breaches of international humanitarian laws and serious violations of human rights.
Jordanians have recently been gathering near the Libyan embassy in Amman to express their solidarity with the Libyan people and condemn the violence committed against them.
