VETERAN Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi has ordered the release of 20 journalists working for titles close to his reformist son, who were arrested amid a mounting backlash from conservatives, state television reported.
The Oea weekly and the Libyapress news agency, both run by the Al-Ghad publishing company sponsored by Seif al-Islam Kadhafi, said Monday that 10 of their journalists had been picked up by agents of the Internal Security Agency, among them three Tunisians and two Egyptians. A further 10 journalists working for Al-Ghad titles were rounded up in a second wave of arrests.
