Security forces in Tripoli, Libya, have arrested two Nigerian nationals in the coastal town of Qarabouli over allegations of spreading inciting content on social media. According to a report by The Libya Observer on Wednesday, the suspects were detained for allegedly circulating videos and other online materials described by authorities as having an “inciting nature” that promoted violence and criminal activity. The statement said the content was considered a violation of Libyan laws and posed a threat to public security and stability. Authorities confirmed that both individuals have been formally charged and that legal procedures have been concluded. They have since been referred to the Public Prosecution Office for further investigation and possible prosecution in line with Libyan criminal laws. While details of the identities of the suspects were not immediately disclosed, the case adds to ongoing concerns over the use of social media platforms in Libya, where authorities have in recent years intensified surveillance of online content deemed threatening to national security.
