UN urges probe into Libyan activist's death in custody

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (USMIL) has called for an investigation into a political activist's death while detained at an eastern military base controlled by military strongman Khalifa Haftar.
   UNSMIL also demanded the "immediate release" of other prisoners it said
were being detained "arbitrarily" by the war-torn country's eastern-based
authorities.
   In a statement on X, the UN mission said it was "deeply saddened by the
death of activist Siraj Dughman while in custody at Rajma military camp" and
urged the Libyan "authorities to conduct a transparent and independent
investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death".
