The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor expressed its concern about the arrest of a security force in Benghazi, the director of the media office in the Benghazi municipality, Maher Al-Gharyani, after he criticized the demolition of buildings in the city.
Euro-Med Monitor said in a statement today, Friday, that it followed the arrest of a force from the Tariq bin Ziyad Brigade, which is affiliated with activist Maher Hamad Al-Gharyani, one day after his release from the Internal Security Service in Benghazi, who detained him for hours.
He added that since the moment of his arrest, contact with the Gharyani activist has been cut off, while his family does not know his whereabouts, which amounts to an enforced disappearance.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor called on the Libyan authorities to reveal the fate and place of detention of Al-Gharyani, and then immediately release him and stop the prosecution and arrest on the grounds of the right to expression.
