Gaza City - Hundreds of Gaza university students and supporters of the Hamas movement took to the streets of Gaza City Wednesday to demonstrate against Moamer Gaddafi, witnesses said.

They burned his picture, and chanted slogans against the Libyan leader, calling on him to step down after 41 years in power.

A protester said they were angered at Gaddafi, and other Arab leaders, for not doing enough to bring about Palestinian statehood.

Hamas, the Islamic movement which has administered the Gaza Strip since June 2007, condemned the violence Libyan forces have used against the demonstrators who are calling for change and the ouster of Gaddafi.

In a statement, Hamas said it 'strongly condemns the massacres, the airstrikes and the artillery fire against the Libyan people carried out by the Libyan regime.'
