On Tuesday, the militia released a video of the two in which they apologised
for entering Libya illegally.
International rights campaigners including Amnesty International and Reporters
Without Borders have said the two Britons were detained illegally, and had
called on the militia to either release them immediately or transfer them to
the custody of the official Libyan authorities.
The fact they have been held by a militia – which has no official status – is
emblematic of the instability and weak central government control in Libya
since last year’s rebellion ended Gaddafi’s rule with help from Nato air
strikes.
