The human trafficker and fuel smuggler Abd al-Rahman al-Miladi, nicknamed #Bidja, a militia leader in Al Zawiya, in a live broadcast on a personal account on Facebook, denies the charges against him by Pashaga, who are thought to be making many mistakes. The most prominent in the video comments from the video: " We are under the legitimacy of the state, and what was provided by Al-Zawiya was not provided by anyone - I am the one who arrested illegal immigrants since 2017, not the state or the coast guard. Tripoli officials have no ambition but to drink coffee and to relax at night. We will not hand over any of the wanted people to Al-Zawiyah in Tripoli."

He continues: "We did not receive any cars from Tripoli during the war and fought with our own cars - Awlad Issa’s area in Warsfana has kidnapping to this day and no one has held them accountable, so why are they talking about the Bedja !!! - We didn’t have it before, to the Tagourian pig and its proximity - The Electricity Company stole 38 billion, so why did they not hold it accountable and want to hold the Albidja accountable? - We will enter the Rajaban as we entered (alasaba)

* A clear and explicit violation by Turkey regarding of Libyan sovereignty: the Air Force Major General Al-Jum, who was captured during an air sortie over the sky, was shown in a broadcast directly from the occupied capital, through a Turkish channel ignoring all international norms. He was used for propaganda purposes.

This contravenes the military laws not to show or investigate prisoners of war. The Military Ethics Administration must take up the case at all levels against this serious violation.
