On 8 June, the Attorney General detained four men on suspicion of murdering the citizen Murad Mansour al-Madkhour al-Werfelli in Benghazi. On 5 June, armed men reportedly from the 20/20 Battalion – affiliated with the Libyan National Army’s (LNA) Tariq Bin Ziyad Brigade – allegedly executed al-Madkhour while he was defending his farm in the Sidi Faraj area from being forcibly seized by the group. Members of al-Madkour’s family were reportedly subjected to intimidation for nearly a month due to their refusal to sell the farm to individuals affiliated with the battalion.
