Libya : Salem Saleh Ahmeed released after 25 years behind bars

On 25 November 2009, Libyan authorities released Saleh Salem Ahmeed after having served nearly 25 years behind bars. Mr Ahmeed was arrested on 3 November 1986 on fabricated murder charges. During the arrest, his house was ransacked and burned. He was then sentenced to life imprisonment in what has been described as an unfair trial and his right to appeal was immediately rejected.

In the aftermath of Mr Ahmeed's imprisonment, five of his sons were also arrested for their participations in the "Martyrs' Square" [Maidan Asshuhada'] demonstrations. They were finally released in 2008.
