Human Rights Watchpolitical analyst who had been arbitrarily detained in eastern Libya for nearly seven months died under dubious circumstances on April 19, 2024, Human Rights Watch said today. Libya authorities should immediately and impartially investigate the death of the political analyst, Siraj Dughman, in the Benghazi General Directorate for Internal Security. Libyan authorities had not charged any of them with a recognizable offense. The failure of Libyan authorities to charge the men with a recognizable offense for nearly seven months led to their arbitrary detention. Libya's criminal justice system is weak, with serious due process concerns, Human Rights Watch said.
