On 18 June, 123 Bangladeshi migrants from Tripoli were repatriated via a special chartered flight with coordination between the Embassy of Bangladesh in Libya and IOM. Many of the migrants lacked valid documentation, and 23 were in poor health, making the process particularly challenging. Despite these hurdles, embassy officials successfully secured exit permits through cooperation with Libyan authorities.
On 19 June, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) rescued 50 Egyptian migrants from two human trafficking sites south of al-Azyat in coordinated raids involving units from the Green Mountain and Qarnada regions. Thirty-seven migrants were freed from a warehouse in the first operation where they had been detained under harsh conditions. One Libyan suspect was arrested and confessed, which aided further investigations. A second raid was launched after another smuggling suspect was arrested and disclosed the location during interrogation. The operation uncovered 23 more migrants. Both of the arrested suspects admitted to the smuggling charges, and the authorities are actively pursuing other members of the trafficking networks.
On 20 June, the CID rescued 140 undocumented migrants, primarily from Egypt, Sudan, and Somalia, from three illegal detention sites operated by human trafficking networks in the eastern border town of Umm Saad. The migrants, subjected to torture, starvation, and extortion, were freed following a targeted operation based on intelligence reports. Several perpetrators were arrested, and the facilities dismantled. Victims received immediate care. Eastern authorities reaffirmed their commitment to combating smuggling networks and upholding human rights, particularly along high-traffic routes near the Egyptian border.
On 21 June, the Tubruq branch of the Anti-Illegal Migration Agency deported 162 illegal immigrants from Egypt via Umm Saad back to their home country.
