'UN Human Rights spokesperson Liz Throssell said, “Seven men, aged between 19 and 29, were arbitrarily arrested” by ISA in Tripoli between November 2021 and last month. She also pointed out the fact that ISA has “posted videos of the seven men on Facebook,” in which they confess to being “atheist, areligious, secular and feminists.”
It's been a very long time since the dangerous charge of atheism and apostasy was used against anyone in the religiously conservative country. Such accusations are almost unheard of in Libya.'
It appears from the article that conservative religious preachers such as Mufti Sadiq al-Ghariani, who lives in Turkey, has his own TV channel and controls Libya’s Fetwa House are behind the push for the kind of extremism that considers an apostasy charge reasonable.
Seems to me like adequate grounds for Turkey if it were a just government to consider rounding up Mufti Ghariani and imprisoning him for hate speech.
In my opinion.
