The Italian police arrested Osama Elmasry Njeem, a Libyan prison director accused of war crimes, at a Turin hotel under an ICC warrant. However, just two days later, he was released and sent back to Libya, prompting an outcry from human rights organizations and Italy's political opposition. Critics claim the government of Giorgia Meloni prioritized relations with Libya over justice, fearing potential repercussions on migration control. Officials attributed the release to procedural mishaps, sparking further debate on the intersection of law and political strategy in Italy's immigration policy.
The warrant against Osama Elmasry Njeem for crimes against humanity was ignored by Italian authorities amid accusations of political motivations and procedural errors.
Human rights groups and political opponents expressed outrage over Njeem's release, suggesting it reflects Italy's troubling cooperation with Libyan authorities to curb migration.
