Fathi-El-Jahmi- Libya
Libyan authorities arrested Fathi el-Jahmi in 2002 after he called for free speech and political reforms during a conference in Tripoli. For that “crime,” he was sentenced to five years in prison, but was released in March 2004 following international pressure. Mr. el-Jahmi’s freedom proved short-lived, however, as authorities detained him again just weeks later after he repeated his call for democracy during a television interview.
The 66-year-old former provincial governor is believed to be held at a special facility of the Internal Security Agency on the outskirts of Tripoli. There are serious concerns about his treatment and conditions in detention. Authorities have reportedly denied him adequate treatment for a range of medical conditions, including diabetes, hypertension and heart ailments. Unable to visit him regularly, Fathi el-Jahmi’s wife and five children fear for his well-being.Amnesty International considers Fathi el-Jahmi to be a prisoner of conscience, who has been detained solely for the peaceful expression of his political views. Amnesty International is calling for his immediate and unconditional release.
