The Solidarity for Human Rights Organization expressed its concern over the escalation of forced evictions and home demolitions in the city of Benghazi, and it accused in a recently issued report Haftar's forces, which it described as the de facto authorities, of carrying out forced evictions and home demolitions, which resulted in the displacement of hundreds of families and created social and economic crises.

The organization described these practices as "flagrant violations of human rights" and called for their immediate cessation and the protection of civilians. It pointed out that forced evictions affected residents since 2018, and local reports spoke of more than 1,500 forced evictions from Benghazi, leaving more than 700 families homeless, bringing the number of people who lost their homes in the city to about 3,000 people.

The organization called for the formation of an independent committee to investigate the violations. According to the latest figures, about 30% of affected families have had to borrow large sums of money to secure alternative housing, and about 20% of children have lost their opportunity to receive regular education due to frequent movements.

The number of people forcibly displaced from their homes revealed by UN reports appears to be greater than what local authorities reveal. In November of last year, a report by UN experts revealed that nearly 20,000 people in Benghazi were forcibly evicted from their homes, and hundreds of homes, some of which were historical, had been demolished.

The UN experts’ report said that most of the evictions occurred without prior warning, without compensation to residents, and at best, residents were given short periods to leave their homes.

Libyan human rights organizations and activists confirm that dozens of families have been forcibly evicted from their homes in Benghazi, and that Haftar’s forces, which control the city, are responsible for the eviction and home demolitions.
