Turkish security officials tell Al Jazeera the two men are restaurant workers without ties to the government.
Restaurant workers Mehmet Demir and Volkan Altinok were arrested by Haftar’s eastern-based forces in Tripoli’s southern Qasr bin Ghashir district on April 12.
They have since been sent to Grenada prison in al-Bayda, a city located about 200km east of Benghazi.
The men were arrested just days after Haftar launched an offensive to seize control of Tripoli, which houses the UN-recognised Government of National Accord (GNA).
