The Libyan Public Prosecutor, Al-Siddiq Al-Sour, agreed with the commander of the West Coast Military Zone to establish a security force that would act upon the measures of the investigation authority regarding violations of the rights of some citizens in Al-Zawiya, in addition to prosecuting those found to have committed crimes.
A statement by the Public Prosecution on Facebook said that the Public Prosecutor's meeting with the commander of the military zone of the west coast was in the presence of representatives from Ministries of Interior and Defense, and discussed ways to enhance cooperation to finish procedures for collecting evidence related to the violations of the rights of some citizens in Al-Zawiya, touching upon the measures taken by the investigation authority and their results.
The force will be taking into account a practical plan whose actions are taken according to a timetable under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor's Office in order to provide justice to the victims.
