Abdulmunim El-Meriami, a Libyan political activist, died following his detention by Tripoli's Internal Security Forces. His death sparked protests across Libya, with demonstrators blocking roads and voicing opposition against Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh's government. El-Meriami had been detained along with his children and was reportedly injured after a decision to release him was issued. According to the Libyan public prosecutor's office, El-Meriami was interrogated after his file was transferred from the Internal Security Agency. Medical sources confirmed he was admitted to Al-Khalil Clinic in Tripoli under supervision. His lawyer denied rumors surrounding the circumstances of his death, confirming that El-Meriami had been released prior to the incident. The United Nations Support Mission in Libya expressed deep sorrow over his death and called for a transparent and independent investigation into the conditions of his detention and allegations of torture. The funeral was postponed pending forensic examination by a neutral party to clarify the cause of death. Libyan officials, including the Prime Minister and members of the National High Electoral Commission, extended condolences to El-Meriami's family. The incident has intensified political tensions in Libya, with calls for accountability and justice for the activist. Additionally, separate reports noted the discovery of the body of Colonel Khaled Kujman with stab wounds in Tripoli and the drowning deaths of two children in Susa, reflecting ongoing instability in the country.
