Seven of the nine Tunisians kidnapped in Libya in the western city of Sorman, about 100 kilometres from the border with Tunisia, have been freed, declared the Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Head of the Tunisian NGO Mustafa Abdelkabir made the announcement through his Facebook page. He added that two people are still detained by the Libyan security authorities.
“We will operate to free them,” said Abdelkabir, thanking the Libyan side for their cooperation.
According to Abdelkabir, the Tunisians were apprehended by an armed group representing the Libyan state as part of routine procedures against illegal migration.
