The Tripoli-based Libyan House of Representatives (HOR) renewed its demand for a comprehensive local and international investigation to uncover the fate of the forcibly disappeared MP Siham Sergiwa, and to bring her abductors to justice. This came in a statement, on the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of Sergiwa, after she was kidnapped by the militia of retired General Khalifa Haftar, from her home in the eastern city of Benghazi. Since 17 July 2019, Haftar’s militia has been hiding Sergiwa, 57, following her kidnapping, after its demand to stop the aggression against Tripoli. “One year after the hideous crime of the kidnapping of Sergiwa, the HOR denounces this cowardly act and condemns it in the strongest terms,” ​​the statement expressed. Human Rights Watch confirmed today that the whereabouts of Sergiwa’s location are still unknown.
