The People's Hall was a large government building in Tripoli, Libya, constructed in the 1970s/80s. It was the meeting place of the Libyan General People's Congress.[1] It was normally closed to the general public.
The People's Hall was burned by demonstrators[2] on 21 February 2011, during the First Libyan Civil War.[3] It was reignited and burned out, amongst the other fires at Tripoli police stations, the justice ministry at Martyrs' Square, and the Shaabia headquarters, on 22 February 2011.[1]
The hall was taken over by militia commander Haithem Tajouri of the Tripoli Revolutionaries Brigade in March 2016.[4] It was subsequently abandoned and used by gangs as a drink and drugs den. It has been set on fire several times including on 13 April 2017.[5]
