The head of the Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights, Mustafa Abdelkabir, has confirmed the release of a second group of Tunisians detained in Libya, who had been held for over two weeks due to customs violations related to exceeding the permitted transport of goods.
Abdelkabir added that 18 detainees have been released so far, with 12 others scheduled to appear before Libyan courts next Thursday.
He clarified that the offences involve customs-related infractions, which do not warrant imprisonment. Punishments included confiscation of goods, vehicle seizures, and fines of up to 4,000 Libyan dinars per person.
He called for accelerating border crossings procedures to reduce waiting times and called for mutual respect and streamlined processes between the two nations.
