[LibyaHerald] A civil society activist and journalist as well as the manager of the Waddan hotel were among the latest people to be kidnapped in Tripoli yesterday.Moutaz Khraif, the head of the organisation “For the good we gathered” was seized in Dahra district just behind the Supreme Court while hotel manager Walid Tantush was seized when men stormed the iconic hotel.
In both cases the kidnappers were reported to have been masked. At least another two people area also said to have been abducted in during the day.
It is also reported that some five journalists were detained over the past couple of weeks.
It is not known who was responsible for the latest abductions although Rada (“deterrence”) forces, under the control of Abdul Raouf Kara, are being accused.
It is not the first time there have been allegations of them detaining individuals either opposed to Libya Dawn or not quite fitting in. One central Tripoli resident told the Libya Herald today that he had not left his home in a week, fearing arrest by Rada because he had been denounced by a third party as being opposed to the force’s activities.
