Libyan Crimes Watch Accuses Authorities of Arbitrary Arrests

Libyan Crimes Watch Accuses Authorities of Arbitrary Arrests
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Libya’s security forces, military, and armed groups continued committing rights abuses and violations against civilians throughout October, according to a monthly report by Libyan Crime Watch (LCW).

The report claimed that authorities in both eastern and western Libya remain reluctant to fulfil their obligations to uphold and protect human rights, according to recent findings by the LCW.

Field monitors from the organisation documented twelve cases of arbitrary arrest across the cities of Benghazi and Yefren. These incidents included the detention of one woman and eleven men, involving community figures and journalists.

October also saw the tragic recovery of 27 bodies along the shores of Tripoli, Zawiya, Tobruk, and Tajoura. Among the deceased were three women and two children, indicating the vulnerability of migrant populations and civilians in areas affected by conflict.

Furthermore, monitors reported the discovery of a mass grave in Tajoura, east of Tripoli, containing 46 decomposed bodies. Authorities believe these remains may date back to the 2011 conflict period, highlighting the legacy of violence still evident in Libya today.

This report underscores the continued deterioration of human rights in Libya, with various forms of violence and neglect persisting against civilians.

Rights groups are calling for urgent action from Libyan authorities to halt unlawful detentions and ensure transparent investigations into these incidents.

The ongoing challenges in the Libyan justice system, combined with limited accountability measures, enable a climate where armed groups and security forces operate unchecked.

Without stronger commitments from Libya’s political and military leaders, rights advocates fear that abuses and casualties will continue to rise, deepening the cycle of violence and lawlessness affecting civilians across the nation.
