国际英语新闻:Libya's eastern-based army accuses UN-backed gov't of "killing prisoners"
TRIPOLI, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- Spokesman of Libya's eastern-based army Ahmad al-Mismari on Friday accused the forces of the rival UN-backed government of killing army soldiers they detain.
The UN-backed government "has eliminated a number of members of the National Army who have fallen into their hands, including those who were injured," al-Mismari said in a statement.
The UN-backed government has not responded to the spokesman's accusation yet.
The eastern-based army has been leading a military campaign since April 2019 in and around the capital Tripoli, attempting to take over the city and topple the UN-backed government.
The fighting has killed and injured thousands of people and forced more than 150,000 people to flee their homes.
The rivals have agreed to cease fire on Jan. 12. However, both parties exchanged accusations of breaching the truce.
