One of the victims of alleged torture
by Osama Almasri Najim, the Libyan judicial police chief
released by Italy last month days after being detained in Turin
on an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant, will take
part in a press conference in Strasbourg on Tuesday organized by
the president of the European Parliament's Subcommittee on Human
Rights (DROI), Mounir Satuori, his Greens group said on Friday.
Almasri, the director of Tripoli's notorious Mitiga detention
centre, is wanted by the ICC for alleged crimes against humanity
and war crimes, including murder, torture, rape and sexual
violence, allegedly committed in Libya from February 2015
onwards.
He was flown back to Libya on a secret service flight two days
after his January 19 arrest due to a technical issue with his
case, sparking an outcry and leading the ICC to request
clarification.
