Mustafa Abd al-Khabar warns against the disgrace of Tunisian travelers in Libya

The head of the Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights, Mustafa Abdul al-Khabar, warned today that Tunisian travellers and travelers have been violated by being detained inside Libyan territory. The warning came after recordings of detentions that took Tunisian nationals on their way through Libya.

Abdul al-Khabar documented the humiliating transportation of Tunisian detainees in security vehicles belonging to the authorities who arrested them. The head of the Observatory explained that the scenes circulating on digital platforms showed improper detention conditions affecting the physical and mental sanctity of Tunisian travellers.

The head of the Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights criticized the absence of any diplomatic or official urgent action to monitor the situation of these citizens abroad. He stressed the need for official structures to intervene to defend the dignity of Tunisian citizens, ensure their physical and legal safety and stop the circulation of their detention scenes.
