Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - BENGHAZI — Authorities in eastern Libya said 10 people convicted of terrorism-related charges by military courts were executed by firing squad, drawing condemnation from rights groups in the divided North African country.
The executions were announced on Sunday by the office of the military prosecutor in eastern Libya, which is overseen by the Libyan National Army led by Gen. Khalifa Haftar, who controls the eastern and southern parts of Libya.
Rights groups questioned the trials and called for an investigation into the executions and the legal process behind them.
In a statement, the military prosecutor's office said the 10 people were executed after years-long trials. It said they had been convicted on charges ranging from joining terrorist groups to the assassination of military personnel and civilians.
The office did not give further details on the charges or say when and where the executions took place, but said they were carried out after "all legal procedures" were completed.
Local media reported that the executions took place at Qarnada military prison in the north-eastern town of Shahat. They also said the families of those executed were asked to collect the bodies from a hospital in Benghazi.
The National Institution for Human Rights in Libya said military trial of civilians “raises fundamental questions concerning jurisdiction, judicial independence, and guarantees of a fair trial.”
The group called for Libya’s chief prosecutor and judicial authorities to investigate the executions and all procedures taken through their trials.
It cited a Constitutional Court ruling that said the trial of civilians before military courts for terrorism-related offenses and crimes against the state was unconstitutional.
International rights groups have repeatedly criticized the detention and sometimes execution of people after unfair trials. Amnesty International has said that Libya has retained the death penalty for a wide range of offenses, with courts in both eastern and western Libya continuing to impose death sentences for murder following “grossly unfair trials.”
Libya was plunged into chaos and division after a NATO-backed uprising that toppled and killed its longtime autocrat Muammar Qaddafi in 2011.
The county has been divided for years between rival administrations in the east and west, each backed by armed groups and foreign governments.
