Amnesty International says death sentences in eastern Libya were politically motivated, aimed at punishing opponents.
At least 22 people have been sentenced to death by military courts in eastern Libya since 2018, in what Amnesty International described as “shame, torture-tainted” trials aimed at stifling dissent in the war-torn country. The international rights watchdog on Monday said military courts “convicted hundreds of civilians in eastern Libya in secret and grossly unfair military trials”. The trials were “aimed at punishing real or perceived opponents and critics” of forces loyal to eastern-based renegade military commander Khalifa Haftar.
