Benghazi – The House of Representatives has called for the withdrawal of instructions reportedly issued by Abdulhamid Dbeibeh that prevent the issuance of flight permits needed to transport several parliament members to the cities of Zintan and Zuwara. The House urged the relevant authorities to proceed with issuing the permits in accordance with established regulations.
In a statement released on Saturday, the House announced it will hold its next official session in Zintan on Monday, November 16, as part of its efforts to promote national unity by meeting in cities across Libya.
The statement described Dbeibeh’s instructions as interference with the authority responsible for granting flight permits, saying the move seeks to hinder the work of the parliament and obstruct members from performing their legislative duties. The House emphasized that such actions threaten the independence of the legislative authority and hamper national efforts to strengthen unity.
The House affirmed its right to convene sessions according to its internal regulations, and its members’ rights to carry out their duties and communicate directly with citizens in Zintan, Zuwara, and all Libyan cities.
The House called for the immediate withdrawal of the instructions and clarification of their legal basis. It also stressed its commitment to pursuing necessary procedures to hold accountable anyone found responsible for obstructing parliament members, in accordance with the law.
