[LIBYAREVIEW] On Wednesday, an gang reportedly kidnapped Major General Rashid al-Rajbani, Head of Libya’s Internal Security Agency, from inside Tripoli

’s Mitiga Airport, according to social media reports.A well-informed source claimed that an gang, allegedly affiliated with Prime Minister Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba, attacked one of the planes on the runway, and kidnapped al-Rajbani from inside the plane.

The source confirmed that this move comes after al-Rajbani was forced to resign, and Lotfi al-Hariri was appointed as his successor. al-Rajbani was appointed as head of the Internal Security Agency on the orders of the previous Prime Minister, Fayez al-Sarraj.

the Ministry of Interior has not yet commented on the kidnapping incident.

activists in Tripoli during the past year.

"Under international human rights law, no one may be arbitrarily arrested or detained. Torture, enforced disappearances, and extrajudicial killings are strictly prohibited as are abductions and kidnappings," said Jan Kubis, Head of UNSMIL.

"The Mission calls on the Libyan authorities to fully investigate all alleged violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law. Libya must end the entrenched culture of impunity in the country", stressed Kubis.

A transitional government was formed earlier this year under the auspices of the UN. It has been tasked with leading the country to elections scheduled for 24 December 2021.

Despite political progress in recent months, the security situation in the oil-rich country remains precarious.
