Yesterday, Monday, the Tripoli Authority expressed, in a statement, its condemnation of the demolition of a mosque in the capital, Tripoli, carried out by the General Authority for Awqaf for this mosque, which is the official body responsible for managing mosques.
Where the Tripoli Authority confirmed in its statement that it had carried out the necessary research and investigation and it became clear that the General Authority of Endowments did not apply for a demolition and removal permit from the Tripoli Municipality, which is the body responsible for granting demolition, maintenance and construction licenses as is known, adding that it has been confirmed to us and through the evaluation of consultants in structural engineering that the mosque building is in good structural condition and needs only some maintenance and restoration work.
The Commission called on the Government of National Unity and the Tripoli Municipality, to open a transparent investigation to determine the reasons for demolishing this mosque and the extent of their observance of the laws in force, indicating that the repetition of such actions opens the door to the dead except from the public sector or the private sector to carry out the removal and demolition work without supervision or accountability.
