On 30 October, Amnesty International called for the Attorney General to ‘conduct prompt, thorough, independent, impartial and transparent investigations into all unlawful killings and murders of members of the Tebu community over the past three months in the Kufra district.’ It called on the Libyan National Army (LNA) to immediately disclose the fate and whereabouts of Tebu men who have been forcibly disappeared.
The rights watchdog says the series of human rights violations were committed between August and October 2025 against members of the Tebu community in the Kufra district, based on ethnic origin, by the Subul al-Salam Battalion, an armed group under LNA command, and the Kufra police affiliated with the LNA. The abuses included unlawful killings, arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearance. This included two incidents in which the Kufra police killed two Tebu men, and a third case in which a Tebu man died following an attack by an armed group in an area patrolled by Subul al-Salam Battalion. The organization also documented the ongoing enforced disappearance of three Tebu men, after they were shot at by members of Subul al-Salam Battalion. At least three more have been forcibly disappeared since August 2025 by the Kufra police or the military police, which is a unit of the LNA.
