On 10 September, Amnesty International published a report calling for the Internal Security Agency (ISA) in eastern Libya to be held accountable for deaths in custody, enforced disappearances and arbitrary detention. Amnesty said that since January 2024, heavily armed ISA agents have arrested without a warrant dozens of people from their homes, streets or other public places in areas of eastern and southern Libya under Libyan National Army (LNA) control. Those arrested were then transferred to ISA-controlled facilities, where they remained arbitrarily detained for months without being allowed to contact their families or lawyers; some were subjected to enforced disappearances for periods reaching 10 months. None were brought before civilian judicial authorities, allowed to challenge the legality of their detention, or were formally charged with any offences. Two people died in custody in suspicious circumstances in April and July while in ISA-controlled detention centres in Benghazi and Ajdabiya. No independent and impartial criminal investigations have been carried out into their deaths and no one has been held accountable.
