Prosecutors Withdraw Charges Against 95 Libyans

South African prosecutors have withdrawn immigration-related charges against 95 Libyan nationals arrested at an illegal military training camp in Mpumalanga province. Initially accused of receiving military training, the National Prosecuting Authority cited insufficient evidence to proceed with prosecution, leading to the withdrawal of all charges. The men, who had entered South Africa on study visas, claimed they were undergoing security training. Following the court's decision, they are expected to be deported to Libya within 48 hours. The court noted that administrative actions would be taken by the Department of Home Affairs instead of criminal proceedings. The case has drawn significant media attention due to the circumstances surrounding the arrests and the nature of the training they were allegedly receiving.
