Several civilian and military detainees accused of being members of
Qaddafi brigades were released yesterday, Monday. They had supposedly
served in the former regime’s forces in several Libyan towns and cities.
A joint statement from a number of Libyan civil society organisations and Libyan revolutionaries’ leaders said that the move was a result of a initiative between them to pardon these individuals following their interrogation and the finding of no evidence to suggest their involvement in any killings or any other criminal offences.
Omar Jeddi, a political activist and head of the Libyan Organization of Studies, said yesterday that all those who had been released had been pardoned and had been returned to their families. No numbers were given but he added that the cases of 120 others were being reviewed with a view to releasing them as well.
Those released had been held in prisons in Zawia, Zintan and elsewhere in the Jebel Nafusa as well as in Tripoli. Those held outside the capital were brought to Tripoli for their release.
Meanwhile, it has been announced the judicial police under the Ministry of Justice has taken control of two more prisons, in this case which were under the control of Zawia revolutionaries. A number of prisons are still beyond the control of the state and the Ministry is working to end the situation.
