Derna Islamists open Sharia court

2014-10-23

The Shura Council of Islamic Youth officially launched its own court in Derna, Libya Herald reported on Wednesday (October 22nd).

The former al-Qaeda affiliate and Ansar-al Sharia branch, which recently declared allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS), set up the Sharia court in the legal aid building next to King Idris library.

Daesh signs are now on buildings across Derna. Another banner saying "Islamic Police" was put up at one station. Police vehicles also bear the new markings.

The Yemeni head of Derna's new Sharia court, Abu Taleb Al-Jazrawi, reportedly demanded that schools stop teaching foreign languages, physics, chemistry and biology.

The group on Saturday flogged several young men for drinking alcohol. In late August, the Shura Council of Islamic Youth staged a public execution at the local football stadium.
