Naim al-D'Wibi, a former Libyan militia commander, was sentenced to death along with 6 of his officers by the Tripoli Criminal Court for the murder of two women and the kidnapping of their children in 2016. He headed the "6th Security Division", a militia that operated from Tripoli and was destroyed by the Rada militia in 2016, making al-Davibi and his men fugitives until their arrest at an unspecified date. It is the first time that a former militia commander has been sentenced to death in western Libya controlled by the Government of National Unity (GNU), a ruling that challenges the de facto immunity that militia commanders have enjoyed in the past.
