LIn a gesture of national reconciliation, the Commander of the Libyan National Army’s Ground Forces, Lieutenant General Saddam Khalifa, has overseen the release of prisoners who met the criteria for pardon under a recent decree by the Supreme Judicial Council.
The prisoner releases come just days after the Eid al-Fitr holiday, with the General Command and the Ground Forces playing a key role in facilitating the initiative.
The move is seen as a meaningful step by the LNA towards promoting unity and healing across the country. No further details were provided about the specific number of prisoners released or the crimes for which they were pardoned.
