The Facts

  • Libya has reactivated its Morality Police to monitor inappropriate behavior, clothing, and hairstyles beginning in December. Interior Minister Imed Trabelsi reportedly said last week that Libyans' behavior, including on social, must align with the values of Libyan society.

  • Trabelsi said the Morality Police will prevent public gender mixing and ensure mandatory head coverings for women. Women will not be allowed to travel within Libya without a male guardian. People "seeking personal freedom should go to Europe," the minister reportedly said.
