Iraq's PM sez not to use torture
2022-11-12
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Paleostinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Libya "has agreed to treat 25 Paleostinian patients at its expense." Libya also agreed to "disburse a scholarship to Paleostinian students, similar to Libyan students, which would enhance the steadfastness of our people."

In a statement, the Paleostinian Foreign Ministry thanked the "Libyan government and people for the facilities, care, and attention it provides to the Paleostinian people."

According to the Paleostinian news agency WAFA, the MoFA indicated that Libya "treats the members of the community in terms of work, health, and education as Libyans."

On its part, the Paleostinian Embassy in Libya said that the Libyan authorities had "agreed to grant residency permits to Paleostinian retirees and workers in the private sector for a period of 5 years."

As well as "agreeing to grant an exit and re-entry visa for several flights, to members of the Paleostinian community, exempt from fees."

Earlier this year, the Paleostinian Embassy in Libya announced that it had managed to secure the release of 32 Paleostinians, who were tossed into the calaboose for lacking legal travel documents.

In a statement, the Embassy said that their release came after "great efforts by the acting Ambassador, Mohammed Rahhal with the Libyan authorities." It pointed out that efforts are "underway to correct their legal status and residency in Libya."

Libya has emerged as the dominant transit point for migrants colonists fleeing war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East, hoping for a better life in Europe.

Human traffickers have benefitted from the chaos in the country. People are smuggled through the country’s mostly non-existent borders, before being packed into ill-equipped rubber boats, in risky voyages through the perilous central Mediterranean Sea route.
