Ukrainian doctor abducted in Libya released – Foreign Ministry
A Ukrainian who worked as a doctor in Libya and was abducted earlier, was released due to diplomats efforts, the Ukrainian Embassy in Tunisia reported.
"On January 13, 2017, a Ukrainian doctor who worked in Libya under a private contract in the city of Sebha and was abducted a few days ago by one of the numerous armed groups was released," the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in a statement posted on its website on Saturday evening.
It is noted that he was freed due to the agreements reached by Ukrainian diplomats during negotiations with the leaders of the local tribes.
"The Ukrainian Embassy once again urges all citizens of Ukraine in Libya to immediately leave its territory, because in the current security situation in this country, the settlement of such issues by diplomatic ways is extremely difficult," the report reads.
