[HIGHLIGHTS] Libyan House of Representatives dismisses Benghazi prime minister, Supreme Council of State calls decision 'political tampering'

The Libyan House of Representatives in Tobruk decided on Tuesday to suspend the duties of Fathi Bashagha. The head of the High Council of State, Khaled Al-Meshri, accused the House of Representative of practicing political tampering.

The suspension came against the backdrop of a parliamentary administrative oversight committee's submission of a report with about 14 points, all of which condemn Bashagha, an MP said. The House of Reps did not explain the reasons that prompted it to suspend Bashagh.
