ICC Investigates Death of Anti-Government Activist in Tripoli

The Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) has confirmed it is closely monitoring the case of Libyan activist Abdul Moneim Al-Mariami, who died recently under suspicious circumstances while in custody. The office reiterated its commitment to ending impunity for crimes committed in Libyan detention centres.

In a statement to Arabi21, the Prosecutor’s Office stressed that the ICC is following developments related to Al-Mariami’s death as part of its broader investigation into human rights violations in Libya’s prisons and detention facilities.

While declining to comment on specific details, the ICC said its silence regarding ongoing investigations or potential charges is essential to maintaining the integrity of the legal process and ensuring the safety of victims, witnesses, and others involved with the Court.

The ICC’s response comes amid mounting domestic and international outrage following Al-Mariami’s death. Calls have intensified for a thorough and transparent investigation, with human rights groups and civil society activists demanding accountability for those involved.

Al-Mariami, a vocal critic of Libya’s interim government and an outspoken advocate for the release of his uncle, Abu Agila Masud—who is detained in the US over the 1988 Lockerbie bombing—was reported to have died after sustaining injuries in a detention facility run by Libya’s Internal Security Agency in Tripoli.

His case has reignited fears over the treatment of detainees and the prevalence of arbitrary arrests in Libya. The incident has also fuelled broader concerns regarding the shrinking space for civil activism and freedom of expression in the country.

The ICC reiterated its ongoing commitment to addressing serious human rights abuses in Libya and emphasised that justice for victims remains a top priority.
