BRUSSELS -(Dow Jones)- Violence against protesters in Libya by head of state Moammar Gadhafi must not go without consequences, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said Wednesday.The Council chief issued a statement expressing alarm at the violence against freedom-seeking people in Libya, alongside strengthened language against Gadhafi by the European Commission.
"I have seen horrible crimes that are unacceptable and must not remain without consequences. I condemn the violence, aggression and intimidation against demonstrators in Libya, and call for an immediate end to the use of force," said Van Rompuy.
Meanwhile, the commission said the EU could consider further "restrictive measures" against Libya.
"[Gadhafi] cannot go on threatening his people," said a commission official Wednesday. "We need to see a dialogue happening."
