The legal adviser for for the Abu Salim massacre victims association, Mustafa Al-Majdoub, said the criminal court circuit at the Appeals Court of Tripoli adjourned ruling on the case to April 13 upon the defendants lawyers’ request.

Al-Majdoub told reporters that the court session was attended by defendants Abdullah Al-Senusi and Abdullah Mansour.

In 2019, the ninth circuit court of Appeals Court in Tripoli dropped all charges against the defendants in the case of Abu Salim prison massacre after the end of the duration of litigation (10 years since the date of crime). This led to anger among Libyans which led to reopening the case by the Supreme Court at a different Appeals Court circuit in Tripoli.
