- ICC advances first Libya trial over Mitiga prison abuses
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has advanced its first Libya trial over abuses at Mitiga Prison, charging Khaled Mohamed Ali El Hishri with 17 war crimes and crimes against humanity. El Hishri, a senior official at the prison, is accused of overseeing systematic abuse, including torture and rape, during Libya's post-2011 turmoil. The ICC judges found sufficient evidence to proceed with a trial.
