Libyan Crimes Watch: Last June marked dangerous escalation of violations
The Libyan Crimes Watch Organization has reported a sharp escalation in serious human rights violations against civilians across Libya during last June, citing continued arbitrary arrests and extrajudicial killings amid a lack of accountability and failure by authorities to protect human rights. In its monthly report, the organization documented the killing of a civilian in Benghazi, the death of an activist after his arrest in Sorman, and the arbitrary detention of 23 civilians — including children, activists, and foreign nationals — in Sirte, Benghazi, and Ubari. It also reported the discovery of 15 migrant bodies along the shores of Tripoli, Sabratha, and Tobruk. In Benghazi, the group recorded the killing of Murad al-Madhkour by members of the 20/20 Battalion, as well as the arrest of Hussein Aqrira, head of the Dialogue Committee in Ubari. It also highlighted the detention of participants in the 'Sumood Convoy' in Sirte and the prevention of their planned journey to Gaza. The report further documented the recovery of drowned migrant bodies in several locations, including Sabratha and Tobruk, following the sinking of a boat carrying Sudanese migrants. At least 29 individuals remain missing. In Sorman, activist Abdulmonem Al-Marimi was detained by the Internal Security Agency and later died in Tripoli under mysterious circumstances after falling at the premises of the Attorney General. The organization held the 20/20 Battalion and the Internal Security Agencies in both eastern and western Libya responsible for these violations. It called for an end to arbitrary arrests and urged protection for human rights defenders and migrants. It also urged the Attorney General to launch an independent investigation into the arrests and violations connected to the 'Sumood Convoy,' and appealed to the International Criminal Court to reverse its decision to halt investigations in Libya by the end of 2025. The organization called on the UN mission and influential international actors to pressure all Libyan parties to respect fundamental rights and freedoms and to end the prevailing culture of impunity.

El-Sisi hosts Libyan HoR Speaker, stresses need for comprehensive political settlement
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met in Cairo with the Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives (HoR), Aqila Saleh, on Saturday, in a meeting attended by the head of Egyptian intelligence, Hassan Rashad. According to a statement by Presidential Spokesman Mohamed El-Shennawy, President El-Sisi emphasized the need to unify efforts to reach a comprehensive political settlement in Libya. He stressed that such a resolution must enable the holding of simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections as soon as possible, in a way that meets the Libyan people's aspirations for stability, security, and a dignified life. The meeting addressed the latest developments in the Libyan arena, with El-Sisi reiterating Egypt's firm and consistent support for Libya and its national institutions, stressing the importance of preserving Libya's sovereignty and territorial integrity. El-Sisi stressed Egypt's commitment to continuing its efforts and coordination with all Libyan stakeholders and relevant international parties, based on the belief that Libya's political and security stability is an integral part of Egypt's own stability. He also underscored the necessity of the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Libya to enhance security and empower Libyan institutions to carry out their role in consolidating stability across the entire country. HoR Speaker Saleh expressed his appreciation for the historic and brotherly ties between Egypt and Libya, and for President El-Sisi's role—as well as that of Egyptian institutions—in supporting Libya's unity and the cohesion of its national institutions. He reaffirmed that this support is a fundamental pillar for restoring security and stability and for managing the transitional phase toward the upcoming electoral milestones, according to the Egyptian statement.
