Bin Shaaban seeks to restore the columns of Leptis Magna, the historical city located between Tripoli and Sirte. The legal team behind the Leptis Magna campaign said they have learned from experts that the remains are at risk of critical damage due to prolonged exposure to British weather. “The marble from which these columns were made is not made for British weather. The original stoneworkers used material better suited to Libyan weather. It’s next to a lake in the south of England, but it was built for the desert," Bin Shaaban said.
