Prosecutors investigate damage to Ajdabiya heritage sites

January 5, 2026

Prosecutors in eastern Benghazi have launched an investigation into alleged attacks on archaeological sites in the Ajdabiya region.

The Public Order Prosecution said it is examining complaints concerning damage to several sites under the supervision of the Ajdabiya Antiquities Office.

The Benghazi Antiquities Authority reported that a specialised committee has been established, bringing together prosecutors, representatives from the tourist police and antiquities protection units, as well as a team of archaeologists. The group has conducted on-site inspections together with the head of the Ajdabiya office.

Officials said the inspections are intended to determine the scale of the damage and gather evidence to document the violations, with the goal of pursuing legal action against those responsible.
