Libya's National Transitional Council has lifted a ban on religious parties taking part in June's election.
At the same time the NTC announced a clampdown on Libyans
loyal to the country's former leader, Muammar Gaddafi. Public praise of
Gaddafi or his regime will now be an offence. The election will choose members of a new General National Congress.
Registration centres opened throughout the country on 1 May, and voters have two weeks in which to register.
