CAIRO – The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said it is following up with great interest around the clock, along with the state bodies concerned, the status of six Egyptians who have been detained at an illegal migration center in western Libya that is not under the control of the Libyan authorities.
In a statement released on Friday, the Foreign Ministry said the Egyptian Embassy in Tripoli has contacted the authorities concerned in Libya to intervene to release the six Egyptians.
The consular sector at the Foreign Ministry has received families of the detained nationals more than once over the past few days to follow up on their condition; in light of the high priority given by the ministry to Egyptian expats, the statement said.
The statement noted that the six travelled to Libya with visas allowing them only to stay in east of the country.
