In a live press conference held in Tripoli today, Libya’s Internal Security Agency (ISA) refuted and condemned parts of the leaked (Arabic language version) UN Experts Panel Report on Libya.
Summarising the half an hour press conference statement, including taking questions from the media, the ISA said:
• It deplored and condemned all that is stated in the report to undermine its resolve.
* There are no arbitrarily detained prisoners, but they are legally detained prisoners.
• We have taken it upon ourselves to confront the promotion of atheism and intelligence-backed homosexuality, which has angered some countries that support these activities.
• We succeeded in monitoring and thwarting the settlement of migrants in southern Libya.
• We were able to monitor a group called “Jama’at Allah” that practices Christian proselytizing within the country.
• We monitored espionage activities carried out by international intelligence services, which attracted citizens to provide information and maps on military and security sites after luring them with money.
• We monitored foreigners residing under the cover of teaching a foreign language who targeted teenagers to convince them to convert to apostasy and adopt Christianity in exchange for money and encourage them to facilitate travel and residence abroad.
- The report gave no specifics of the alleged allegations and therefore it does not give the ISA the opportunity to investigate them or respond to them.
