Libyan court cancels Gen Haftar's presidency bid

Copyright: Getty ImagesImage caption: Prosecutors had advised the electoral body to block Khalifa Haftar's application A court in Libya's western city of Zawiya has ordered the electoral commission to drop Gen Khalifa Haftar's name from the list of presidential candidates.
Gen Haftar, who led a rebellion against the National Unity Government between 2019 and 2020, caused controversy when he filed his paperwork to run for president.
Military prosecutors had advised the electoral commission to stop processing his application until he was questioned over accusations of human rights abuses.
They also advised against the candidacy of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the country's former leader, Muammar Gaddafi.
Last week, a court in Misrata sentenced Gen Haftar to death in absentia for bombing a military college in the city in 2019.
He is also wanted in the US.
The military commander, whose forces control the east of the country and parts of the south, has the right to appeal against the Zawiya court’s decision but he is unlikely to attend the hearing as he is under an arrest warrant.
He has not commented on the various allegations against him.

Libya protesters back judiciary after court house takeover

Residents of Libya's south-western city of Sebha took to the streets on Monday to protest against militiamen who besieged a local court house preventing employees and judges accessing the building.
A court session had been scheduled to listen to an appeal by Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the country's former leader, who was barred from running in the 24 December presidential election.
The militiamen are believed to be loyal to warlord Khalifa Haftar, whose candidacy was controversially approved.
Protesters held banners in support of the judiciary and chanted: "No to the intimidation of judges."
They also called on the international community and the UN to help ensure free and transparent elections.
A video of the protest was shared on Twitter:
