No accountability for kidnappers in Libya on International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearance

Sunday, August 30, is the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearance, which is an annual occasion for the United Nations to release all detainees.

This year’s International Day in Libya coincides with the arrests that have not stopped for years, the last of which was a few days ago, in Tripoli, the campaign of arrests that affected activists who demonstrated in Martyrs Square, demanding a decent life, ending political bodies in Libya, and fighting corruption.

Among those who have been arrested are the director of Al-Jawhara Radio, journalist Sami Al-Sharif, while participating in the Tripoli protests, and the founder of the “People’s Voice” movement, Mohammad Al-Boua, who was kidnapped last night, according to what activists in the movement revealed.

The arbitrary arrest campaigns in Tripoli came las a result of the street movement in the capital against the political class in all its spectrums after the deterioration of services, the absence of security and accountability, and the spread of corruption that caused successive crises in the service sectors.

Since 2011, Libya has been going through an unstable phase, where there have been cases of arbitrary arrest and kidnapping by armed groups, which led to the flight of many activists abroad, fearing the threats they received from armed parties, some of which are known and others unknown and did not reveal themselves. .
