Musa al-Sadr disappearance investigation

Overview

On the 48th anniversary of the disappearance of Imam Musa al-Sadr and his two companions in Libya, Lebanese officials and political figures have reflected on the unresolved case.

Judge Hassan al-Shami, a rapporteur for the official follow-up committee, reported that recent files handed over by Libyan authorities are incomplete and contain no new information. While there have been suggestions that al-Sadr may have been held in a private prison belonging to former regime figure Abdullah al-Senussi, the committee noted a lack of sufficient evidence regarding his potential involvement. Additionally, the release of Hannibal Gaddafi in Lebanon has been viewed as closing a possible avenue for uncovering the fate of the Imam.

In commemorative statements, former Minister Mohamad Wissam al-Murtada described al-Sadr as a “continuous intellectual presence in the Lebanese conscience,” emphasizing his legacy as a guide for national unity and the protection of Lebanese territory against external threats.
