Libyan coastguards seized Friday a fishing boat with five Tunisian anglers onboard in the Libyan territorial waters, sources from Ben Guerdane city in Tunisia reported.
They added that the boat was taken to Tripoli and the fishermen were held despite efforts to free them. Another boat from the same Tunisian area escaped after coming under gunfire.
Tunisian law activists are trying to talk Libyan authorities into releasing the arrested fishermen and the boat.
