Misrata revolutionary fighters called on Friday for mobilization of forces and the city's revolutionaries and closed Dafniya checkpoint, western Misrata, in protest against the recent incidents in Tripoli. They added that the checkpoint will be closed until all the people, who are kidnapped in Tripoli based on their IDs, are released. "The militias of Tripoli must withdraw from all state institutions where they are now positioned." "Those fighters can take matters in their own hands; we will not be worried about them." The statement concluded by urging the western region's leaderships to have a vivid standpoint regarding the attempts to return the rule of military to Libya.
