ai generated text

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Libyan police chief Osama Elmasry Njeem, also known as Almasri, due to alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as rape and murder. However, Njeem was detained in Italy on the basis of this warrant, but was released and flown back to Libya due to a procedural technicality, sparking outrage from the Italian opposition. The ICC has since requested an explanation from Italy regarding the release of the suspect.
