Tripoli, 13 November 2013:

A competition for memorising and reciting the Quran is set to attract participants from 65 different . . .[restrict]countries, according to the Awqaf Ministry of Islamic Affairs which is organising the event.

“We invited 150 countries to take part,” head of the Ministry’s department for competitions Sheikh Mohamed Ali Al-Rabou told the Libya Herald, “but only 65 agreed.” He said the other 85 countries apologised for not participating, citing the security situation in Libya as the reason.

The participants, all under 25 years old, would come from Arabic, Asian, and European countries, said Rabou. Of the seven judges, he added, three would be Libyan.
