Libya’s Public Prosecutor’s Office has revealed the latest figures from its investigation into the armed clashes and protests that shook Tripoli earlier this year, exposing the full scale of the violence and its far-reaching consequences on lives, property, and public institutions.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the unrest led to five deaths inside correctional and detention centers, in addition to 15 civilian fatalities outside conflict areas.
The office has received 20 formal complaints related to the events and processed 558 case reports submitted by law enforcement under the Tripoli Security Directorate’s jurisdiction.
Investigators have interviewed 146 witnesses connected to the clashes and issued 58 arrest warrants against individuals suspected of involvement in the violence. Six suspects currently remain in pretrial detention as investigations continue.
The clashes also resulted in at least 20 civilian injuries and caused significant property and security-related damage. Authorities documented 336 cases of vehicle theft during the unrest, alongside the escape of 461 inmates from detention facilities.
Moreover, the Prosecutor’s Office recorded widespread damage to infrastructure and property. This includes 35 government institutions, 211 private homes, and 75 business projects. Damage to 640 vehicles was also reported as a result of the clashes.
