Reply #25: No, I picked one that's been going on longer and where all deaths are unarmed protesters

I've mentioned Yemen elsewhere, as well as Syria. The body count on Friday of 40 in Yemen is greater than any single "massacre" in the Libyan revolt. The biggest single citation I find ANYWHERE for Libyan protesters being killed is 24. There is one more for 24 and one for 10, although the first reference is no longer up on Wikipedia.

The Bahrainis are truly unarmed public protesters who are being killed. Although this happened on three instances I find reference to in Libya, it's been a month since then, with an armed provisional government that has sought--and gotten from France--recognition as a government-in-being.

Yemen certainly deserves mention, as I note that I have elsewhere, because their "government" is one of our "allies", and they are in the process of seriously clamping down on their people. It doesn't bear as much mention as Bahrain because it hasn't been going on for 6 weeks and they haven't called in foreign troops to kill unarmed protesters.
