Unity Government Condemns Eastern Executions
The Office of the Minister of State for Displaced Persons and Human Rights in the Government of National Unity condemned the execution of death sentences by firing squad in the Eastern Region, based on military justice. It considered this a threat to the right to life and the rule of law, especially after the Libyan Supreme Court issued a ruling in April 2024 declaring military trials of civilians in terrorism cases unconstitutional. The office stated that applying the death penalty under current circumstances could deepen division and undermine trust in justice institutions. It called for a review of execution procedures and emphasized the necessity for all judgments to comply with the law and be subject to fair trial guarantees. It also rejected the exploitation of crime and terrorism cases to undermine legal principles and human rights.
