Four militia fighters, loyal to the warlord Khalifa Haftar, surrendered themselves and their weapons to the security forces of the Libyan Army on Tuesday.

In a statement, the Libyan Army said the militia fighters received fair and just treatment and all legal measures were taken on their behalf, noting that due consideration will be afforded to them in the matter of their surrender, to avoid conflict and reduce punishment in their cases.

The Libyan Army called on all such lingering fighters in the western region to surrender themselves and their weapons to the authorities in order to ensure their safety, which would work in their favour in a reduction of culpability on their part.
