Administrative detention and legal proceedings against Mr. Fathi El-Jahmi22
As of the end of 2006, Mr. Fathi El-Jahmi, an engineer actively involved in civil society activities, remained under house arrest in Benghazi, facing charges of "defaming the Head of State", in retaliation for his stand in favour of democratic reforms. However, no specific court or date had yet been allocated for the examination of his case.
On April 4, 2004, unidentified members of a security group had abducted Mr. Fathi El-Jahmi from his home.
