Libyan authorities have completed the release of detainees held in military police prisons who meet the conditions of the country’s general amnesty law, in a move aimed at reinforcing legal standards and strengthening the rule of law.
The process was supervised by the National Committee for Monitoring Prison Conditions, headed by Ibrahim Bushnaf, and carried out with the support of Saddam Haftar. Officials confirmed that all individuals who qualified under the amnesty provisions, as well as those who had been acquitted or granted release orders by military prosecutors or competent courts, have been freed.
Authorities stated that the releases were implemented in accordance with established legal procedures and after completing all required administrative and security checks. The committee emphasized that the move reflects a commitment to ensuring that detention practices comply with judicial rulings and national laws.
The operation followed a coordination meeting between the committee and the military police prison administration, where mechanisms for executing the release orders were reviewed. Officials noted that the process was closely monitored to guarantee transparency and full adherence to legal frameworks.
The decision is part of broader efforts to address detention conditions and ensure that individuals are not held beyond legal limits. Observers suggest that such steps can help strengthen public confidence in legal institutions and demonstrate progress toward improving accountability.
Officials stressed that the releases applied strictly to detainees who fully met the criteria outlined in the general amnesty law or had clear judicial decisions in their favor. Monitoring efforts are expected to continue to ensure compliance across all detention facilities.
