The Libyan News Agency (LANA) has strongly condemned an armed raid on its headquarters in Tripoli and issued an urgent appeal for government authorities to intervene.
In an official statement, the state media outlet said its historic offices in the capital were forcibly entered and occupied by a security force after business hours.
According to LANA, the security personnel sealed the premises with red wax, barring all employees from accessing the building and carrying out their duties the following morning.
LANA has urgently appealed to Libya’s House of Representatives, Presidential Council, and Attorney General to “immediately intervene to stop this unjustified crackdown on press and media freedoms.”
