The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in the government mandated by the Libyan House of Representatives has launched an international campaign in solidarity with Libyan youth detained in Italy.
This campaign comes in support of young people arrested in Italy, against the background of their attempt to emigrate to Italy in 2015 to escape the conditions of war and instability.
The Ministry renewed its call on the Italian authorities to release these young people or hand them over to the Libyan authorities in accordance with international human rights law and international humanitarian law.
Representatives of the organizations, a number of political figures and academic experts participating in the International Symposium on Migration, recently hosted in the Moroccan city of Tangier, affirmed their solidarity with the Libyan youth detained in Italy.
Political organizations and members of human rights and trade union organizations in Morocco, Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, Senegal, Cameroon, Tunisia, and Libya announced their intention to work together to launch an international campaign to defend these young athletes, under the slogan “Migration for sport is not a crime.”
