Libyan Forces Detain Gaza Land Convoy Activists at Sirte Checkpoint

A group of Libyan forces loyal to Commander Khalifa Haftar has detained members of a land convoy attempting to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip. The activists, who were part of a European-American convoy, were stopped at a checkpoint in Sirte.

According to reports, the detainees are believed to be from Europe and the United States. Rights groups have expressed concerns about the treatment of individuals by LNA fighters, citing instances of arbitrary detention and torture.

The pre-recorded video appeals released by activists aim to raise awareness about the situation and advocate for the release of the detained individuals. The appeals were made by representatives of the European-American convoy, who are seeking to deliver aid to Gaza.

Details of the incident are still emerging, but it is reported that the land convoy was attempting to bring humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip. The detention of the activists has sparked concerns about the safety and security of those involved in the convoy.

The LNA forces have not commented on the incident, but human rights organizations have raised concerns about the treatment of individuals by the Libyan government. The situation remains under investigation, with further details expected to emerge in the coming days.
