Libya security chief gets 7-year sentence

The Tripoli Criminal Court has sentenced Osama Najeem, a nationally wanted security official, to 7 years and 4 months in prison for violating prisoners' rights and torture inside a correctional facility in Tripoli. A warrant for his arrest had previously been issued by the International Criminal Court, and he was released by Italian authorities before being dismissed from his position in Libya. The judgment came after he was proven guilty of torture and of treating prisoners in a harsh and degrading manner, as well as causing the death of an inmate as a result of the torture.
