9:00Now PlayingIn a troubling shift toward religious authoritarianism, Libya's Government of National Unity has announced plans to reinstate morality police patrols in Tripoli starting December 2024. Interior Minister Emad al-Trabelsi's announcement revealed sweeping new restrictions on personal freedoms, including mandatory hijabs for women and girls as young as nine, restrictions on women's travel without male guardians, and bans on gender mixing in public spaces. In a particularly stark declaration, al-Trabelsi dismissed concerns about personal liberty, stating that "personal freedom does not exist here in Libya" and suggesting those seeking such freedoms "should go to Europe." The morality police will have broad powers to enforce these regulations, including the authority to shut down non-compliant businesses like barber shops and shisha bars. This development has deeply divided Libyan society, with some supporting the measures as protection of cultural norms while others argue the resources would be better spent addressing the country's pressing issues of political instability and social services in a nation still grappling with the aftermath of its 2011 NATO-backed uprising.
