Overview
- Arab and Libyan media and the NGO Rifugiati in Libia posted a clip they say shows Osama Njeem Almasri killing a man in the streets of Tripoli.
- The footage’s authenticity and the subject’s identity have not been independently verified, and outlets note difficulty confirming the source and timing.
- The video depicts a man resembling Almasri beating an unarmed person to death in central Tripoli, according to the published descriptions.
- Giuseppe Conte, Elly Schlein, Angelo Bonelli, Riccardo Magi and Enrico Borghi condemned the government and demanded explanations from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
- Reports reiterate that Almasri, wanted by the ICC for alleged torture and crimes against humanity, was arrested in Turin in January and repatriated to Libya on a state plane by the Meloni government.
