The Supreme Council of State of Libya ruled against the arrest of its member Safwan Mohammed al-Masouri, the Libyan channel The Libya Observer reported on March 19.
A member of Libya’s Supreme State Council, Safwan Mohammed al-Masouri, was reportedly arrested by security forces in the Libyan city of Derna. At the same time, the legislative immunity of a member of the Libyan Supreme State Council was violated.
The council gave the security service a title that does not mention responsibility for al-Masouri’s safety and called for his immediate release.
According to representatives of Libya’s Supreme State Council, the arrest came at a time when they were working to overcome differences between the council and the Libyan parliament.
“This incident comes as the council works to overcome the political divide and prevent its catastrophic consequences.”– stated the Supreme Council of State of Libya.
Recall that on March 10, 2024, a trilateral meeting took place in Cairo under the auspices of the League of Arab States, attended by the president of the House of Representatives of Libya, Aguila Saleh, the president of the Presidential Council of Libya, Mohamed Menfi, and the Head of the Supreme Council of State of Libya, Mohamed Takala.
The result of the meeting was the decision to form a new unified government in Libya, which will hold elections.
This decision marks the removal from power of Abdel Hamid Dbeibah, head of the Interim Government of National Unity of Libya, formed after the Geneva conference.
The agreement signed in Geneva ended on June 21, 2022, but Dbeibah refused to leave office and, relying on armed groups in the capital, continued to serve as prime minister.
