About 43 Tunisians are currently held in prisons in Libya over membership in terrorist organizations charges, the director general of consular affairs has said. Tunisia last week repatriated six children whose parents died in fighting with ISIS. There were 150 Tunisians in Libyan prisons in 2015. The North African country was then in a UN report rated the leading country in supply of foreign combatants for terror groups. Around 5,000 were reportedly identified in Libya, Syria and Iraq.
