The Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights is criticizing the detention of Tunisian travellers in Libya

The head of the Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights, Mustafa Abdul al-Khabar, warned on Monday in Tunisia that the dignity of Tunisian travellers and travelers has been violated after they were arrested and detained within Libyan territory.

Abdul al-Khabar pointed to the widespread spread of detention scenes and arrests through digital platforms and social networks, doubling the amount of recorded violations against detainees and their families.

Abdul al-Khabar criticized the absence of any official action or prompt and effective diplomatic intervention to monitor the situation of these citizens and ensure their physical and legal safety abroad. He considered that defending the rights of Tunisians in countries of migration, residence or during transit is an urgent duty requiring contact with relevant authorities in Libya to end these violations and provide them with full legal protection.
