Bourita: A consensual and comprehensive legislative framework for elections is the only solution for lasting peace in Libya.

Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita said yesterday, Tuesday, that reaching a consensual and comprehensive legislative framework for elections in Libya, under the auspices of the United Nations, is the only solution towards lasting peace.

Bourita considered, in his intervention during the ministerial meeting of the African Peace and Security Council, which was held through video conference technology, on national reconciliation in Libya, that holding elections as soon as possible is the guarantor of the formation of a legitimate, elected government.

The Moroccan Minister of Diplomacy, during his intervention delivered on his behalf by the Director of the Mashreq, Gulf and Arab and Islamic Organizations in the ministry, Fouad Akhraif, expressed his hope that the national reconciliation conference that the African Union and the Presidential Council intend to hold in Tripoli would be an opportunity to enhance consensus between the Libyan parties, reiterating his country’s support for the efforts made by the Presidential Council and the President of the Republic of the Congo in this regard.

In his speech on national reconciliation in Libya, Bourita stressed that Morocco’s position on the Libyan issue remains firm and clear. Morocco considers Libya an essential partner in building the Maghreb Union and realizing the aspirations of the Maghreb peoples for integration and development.

Al-Sonni to the Security Council: The Libyans hold you morally responsible for what happened in Libya.

The Permanent Representative of Libya to the Security Council, Taher Al-Sonni, welcomed the Security Council’s response to the Government of National Unity’s request to send teams to assess the need for technical and logistical support and secure the electoral process in Libya.

Al-Sonni, in his remark on the Security Council’s session on Libya’s situation, called on the UN to support the High Elections Commission, relevant national institutions, and civil society institutions, coordinate with regional and international organizations, and provide modern technical preparations in order to ensure a transparent and fair electoral process whose results are accepted by all.

Al-Sonni explained that he held first meetings with the UN Election Support Department, highlighting that the needs assessment team will visit Libya in the coming weeks and will meet with most of the concerned authorities across Libya.

Al-Sonni noted that many of the interventions before the UN Security Council have become repetitive, indicating that many Libyan citizens hold him to the task of reminding you of your moral responsibility for what Libya has become since 2011 until now.

“Libya is facing a dilemma for which the citizen could not find an explanation, the people see that many of the statements presented in the Security Council are repetitive and have no real effectiveness.” AL-sonni said.

He stressed his support for all efforts and initiatives to agree on non-exclusionary electoral laws that give everyone the opportunity to participate, and create the conditions for presidential and parliamentary elections, so that the Libyan people are the decisive factor.

Al-Sonni considered that the meetings of the members of the 5 + 5 committee and a number of members of the security and military leaders in the east and west of the country were an important and essential step to start unifying the military institution and building the nucleus of the unified Libyan army under civil authority, which will protect Libyan territory, secure the country’s borders, and end all kinds of foreign presence.

Al-Sunni warned of the seriousness of the situation in Sudan, which will undoubtedly have a direct and negative impact not only on Sudan, but also on Libya and neighboring countries, especially in the Libyan south.

Consultative meeting at Human Rights Ministry on its report “The Prisoners’ File … Crimes and Violations”

The Human Rights Ministry organized a consultative meeting on its report “The Prisoners’ File… Crimes and Violations”.

In the meeting, a member of the Supreme Political Council, Sultan Al-Sami’i, blessed the heroes liberated from enemy and mercenary prisons for their release and their safe return to the land of Yemen.

In the meeting, which was attended by Samira Marsh, the freed prisoner from Marib prisons, he indicated that during the past three days, hundreds of detainees were received and prisoners from the other side were bid farewell.

Al-Sami’i said, “When we received the detainees coming from Khamis Mushayt, we found most of them afflicted with psychological conditions, and many of them are disabled, and their appearance suggests that they came from cellars in which they did not see the sun, and therefore there is a difference between the detainees coming from here and there and those coming from the first enemy of Yemen, Saudi Arabia.”

He stressed that the violations to which the detainees were subjected are not from the morals and principles of the Islamic religion, the authentic Arab customs, traditions, and human values.

Al-Sami’i explained that the detainees who returned from Sana’a were honored and honored, and they were dealt with all humanity and according to Islamic morals, customs, traditions and authentic Yemeni customs.

He said, “Major General Mahmoud Al-Subaihi, upon his arrival in Aden, said it in one letter. We were really in the hospitality of Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi. We lived in a respectable villa and were fed from the best nutrition, with a television set and open channels. We have phones to communicate with our families, and this came due to the good treatment that the prisoners receive in Sana’a.”

He expressed regret for what the detainees returning to Sana’a from Saudi Arabia and elsewhere were subjected to, which reflects the inhumane treatment of them.

Al-Sami’i indicated that there are many kidnapped, detainees and prisoners of the Saudi enemy and mercenaries who were subjected to torture, and some of them were brutally killed.

The Supreme Political Member, Al-Sami, praised the role of the Ministry of Human Rights in achieving justice, documenting and showing these crimes to the people and the world, despite its meager capabilities.

He expressed appreciation and pride for Yemeni women and their prominent national and struggle role, led by Samira Marsh, who was kidnapped and tortured for five years in Marib on unfounded malicious charges.

He touched on the arrival of 104 expatriate detainees and workers in Saudi Arabia, who were used by the Saudi authorities in the media to release them without any compensation, as if they were detainees and not workers who were arbitrarily arrested on malicious charges as well, and deported unjustly and aggressively.

For his part, Deputy Prime Minister for National Vision Affairs, Mahmoud Al-Junaid, stressed the importance of the Ministry of Human Rights’ report, “The Prisoners’ File … Crimes and Violations”, and the principles and rights that detainees should enjoy and motivate everyone to adhere to them according to faith identity and religious affiliation.

He pointed to pride in the values practiced by the authorities concerned with the detainees, and said, “The whole world knows that we adhere more to the principles and values concerned with the detainees, which are at the core of our Islamic religion.”

Al-Junaid reviewed the rights enjoyed by the prisoner of humane treatment, respect for personality, health care, and the right to practice educational, recreational and sports activities, shelter, food, clothing and other rights that they enjoy.

He stressed that the other party deals with the opposite of those rights and principles of the prisoner, pointing out in this regard to the arrest and horrific practices against the detainees, the freed editor, Samira Marsh.

For his part, Minister of Human Rights Ali Hussein al-Dailami explained that the draft report on the prisoners’ file dealt with the rights of detainees that are being suspended and the rights of detainees are ignored by UN and international organizations.

He stated that ignoring the rights of prisoners has serious negative repercussions, making the other party commit the most heinous crimes, believing that it is thus far from being held accountable.

Al-Dailami indicated that as a result of the failure of the United Nations and its various organs and organizations, as well as international organizations, to assume their role and responsibility towards the detainees, the enemy and its mercenaries persisted and committed the most heinous crimes of torture and killing against prisoners and detainees, documenting them in audio and video and presenting them without fear or fear, in clear defiance of international conventions and covenants.

He touched on the procedures and complexities that the Red Cross takes with regard to the detainees and what they are exposed to, which makes these procedures a factor of restriction on their work.

Al-Dailami said, “The time has come for many organizations to introduce some articles that guarantee effective protection for detainees and civilians, and for rights in general.”

He said, “The time has come for many organizations to introduce some articles that guarantee effective protection for detainees and civilians, and for rights in general.”

Al-Dailami stressed that the statutes of the Red Cross, the High Commissioner and many United Nations agencies need to be carefully reviewed to ensure the implementation of their obligations and the protection of rights.

The Minister of Human Rights considered that the international mechanisms are broken and have not been implemented in reality, and the role of international organizations has become the role of mediator only, while their real role is to stop violations and crimes against prisoners and civilians and move within the correct framework by applying international conventions and covenants.

He called on the Red Cross and the High Commissioner to ease the complications in registering cases or complaints that reach them by the Ministry and to find an appropriate mechanism for that. He indicated that visits were organized by the Ministry of Human Rights to the places where the prisoners are in Sana’a, and the humane and ethical treatment towards the prisoners was observed.

In turn, the head of the Executive Unit of the National Vision at the Ministry of Human Rights, Aref Al-Amiri, explained that the unit, and within its programs, issued national and specialized reports, including the detainees’ report, which coincided with the release of detainees liberated from the prisons of aggression to reveal the crimes and brutal violations that the prisoners were subjected to and the inhumane treatment with them.

And he indicated that the report team worked to document the crimes with the aim of holding the perpetrators accountable as a violation of international conventions that preserve the rights of detainees in light of the international disregard for those rights and in order to hold the aggression coalition and mercenaries responsible for any threat to the lives of detainees and the safety of those still in prisons.

Al-Amiri pointed out that the report included those who were kidnapped because of travel, surname or sect, and were subjected to torture, humiliation and cruel treatment.

The freed detainees, Samira Marsh, reviewed the repercussions of her kidnapping and how she was arrested without any reasons. She stressed that the charges they tried to fabricate against her were false and untrue and had nothing to do with reality.

She touched on the methods of torture that she was subjected to over a period of five years, and preventing her from even contacting her family and her family.

She appreciated the interest of the revolution leader, Mr. Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, and his relentless endeavor to get her out of the prisons of Marib, and her appreciation for the Yemeni people who received her, raised her spirits, and made her forget the years of torture and persecution in mercenary prisons.
