Benghazi lawyer Osama Ben Fayed who was arrested on Saturday, when security forces reportedly stormed his house and seized him in front of his children, has been freed after being transferred and interrogated in Tobruk.
He was said to have been arrested at the request the public prosecutor in Tobruk following complaints from the office of House of Representatives’ president Ageela Saleh. After questioning him, it freed him yesterday.
