The US State Department announced on Friday that it had imposed sanctions on the former head of Libya's judicial police, Osama Nagem, alleging that he was involved in serious human rights violations. The ministry said that the former head of the judicial police in Libya and his wife, Amal Makhlouf, were involved in practices such as torture and cruel and degrading treatment of prisoners in Mitiga and Al-Jadida prisons, in addition to the murder, forced labor and harassment of Christians and other minorities, making them a threat to Libya and the United States. The US State Department said that the decision reflects the firm commitment of the administration under the leadership of President Donald Trump to hold accountable anyone who commits human rights violations, and to protect the American people, as they and their families will not be allowed to enter the United States.
