Suspect for Libyan war crimes arrested in Germany by the ICC warrant

A Libyan man who is suspected of war crimes and crimes against humanity was arrested in Germany on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Supposedly, Khaled Mohammed Ali El Hishri, usually known as al-Buti, was one of the most high-ranking officials in the Mitiga prison complex in the capital, Tripoli, where thousands of people were detained.

He is suspected of committing, ordering or supervising crimes, including murder, torture and rape.

The atrocities were allegedly made at the detention department about Tripoli in five years since 2015. No records comments on him.

The ICC issued 11 arrest warrants in connection with alleged military crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Libya since the displacement and murder of the country’s long -standing leader Muamar Gaddafi, who plunged into Libya into the civil war.

The situation was brought to court by the United Nations Security Council in February 2011 at the beginning of the protests, which led to the displacement of Gaddafi at the end of this year with the help of NATO forces.

In his direction, the Security Council condemned “violence and the use of force against civilians … a gross and systematic violation of human rights, including repression of peaceful demonstrators.”

He also expressed “deep concern about the deaths of civilians”, and “unambiguously rejected inciting hostility and violence against the civilian population made from the highest level of the Libyan government,” then by Gaddafi.

Since the overthrow of Gaddafi, after six decades, Libya has been divided into districts controlled by different militias and is currently divided between two rival governments.

On May 12, 2025, Libya accepted the jurisdiction of the ICC on the territory of 2011 to the end of 2027.

Eight other public arrest warrants are still in connection with the violence that occurred after Gaddafi’s fall.

Earlier this year, Italy is controversially released by Nam Nadzim – Also known as Almasr – who was allegedly director of the center of detention.

Amnesty International says Mitiga’s prisons became a scene of “horrific violations committed with complete impunity.”

Some of those who are stored in Mitiza are migrants trying to get to Europe.

Mr. Najim was released from the legal technicality, the sources of the Italian Interior Ministry reported.

The ICC stated that Mr. Najim was released by Italy “without a pre -message and consultation with the court” and issued another arrest warrant. It remains a fugitive.

Mr. Hishi will remain in custody in Germany until the agreement is accepted so that it is submitted to the ICC and paid for the purpose of collision to The Hague.

His case will join others in the constant efforts of the court to eliminate crimes committed during the Libyan conflict, although other suspects remain at large.
