Human Rights Watch Urges New Libyan Government To Free Illegal Detainees 16/11/2012

Libya's new government headed by Prime Minister Dr Ali Zidan, a former human rights activist, that was sworn in on November 14, 2012, should put the illegal detention of more than 8,000 people atop its agenda, Human Rights Watch, HRW says.

About 4,000 detainees are in government custody, most without formal charges or access to a lawyer, and the rest are held outside government control by various armed groups who have no legal authority to detain anyone, according to HRW.
