The Dean of Islamic Theology Department at the Mohammed Bin Ali Al-Senussi University in Al-Bayda, Al-Amin Bufares, was released after five months of abduction, a source from the university reported.

The source added that Bufares arrived in his house and he was in good health conditions, not saying where he was held over the last period.

Bufaers was abducted in August 2017 and fingers were pointed at Salafist Madkhalists, who were following Sufis around in eastern Libya at that period of time, disallowing many of them from preaching in mosques.
