"Gaddafi was speaking on the 28th anniversary of the establishment of the Libyan Jamahiriyah (popular republic), when Libyans were given the right to air their views at "people's congresses" in what Gaddafi defends as grass-roots democracy.

"You have to let freedoms blossom. People must have the full freedom to chose useful and fruitful work, the full freedom to learn and carry out scientific search and the freedom of faith," said Gaddafi, who came to power in a 1969 military coup, in a speech broadcast live on Libyan television.

Gaddafi, whose North African country was freed from U.S. and European sanctions when he forsook banned weapons in late 2003 with the prospect of huge foreign investment, underlined the need for speeding up economic reforms.

"Every one has the full economic freedom of what to do and where to invest. Every one has the freedom to establish social and economic enterprises of his liking and interest," said Gaddafi, shunning mention of Western-style democracy.
