Director of the General Directorate for Coast Security Tariq Shanbour: The exhumation of the bodies from the mainland does not fall under our jurisdiction

The director of the General Directorate for Coast Security, Colonel Tariq Shanbour, said it was not his department’s responsibility to retrieve the bodies of migrants from the mainland; adding that their work is confined to the sea.

In a press statement on Tuesday, Shanbour explained that the exhumation of the bodies from the land is the responsibility of the Anti-Illegal Immigration Authority, the Security Directorate, the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Red Crescent of the Ministry of Health.

In turn, the Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency released a statement on Monday saying that it is not specialized in retrieving bodies from the sea or land; instead, they pointed out their readiness to provide a study and develop strategic plans to reduce the phenomenon of illegal migration by sea.

The National Commission for Human Rights also issued a statement on Saturday condemned the fact that the bodies of illegal immigrants have yet to be removed from the shores of the city of Khoms.
