'Heinous' killing of migrants in Libya

The bodies of 15 people were found on a beach near the city of Sabratha in Libya on Friday (October 7). According to the Libyan Red Crescent and the UN mission in Libya (UNSMIL), 11 of those 15 bodies were found burned inside a charred boat. The UN mission in Libya has condemned the killing and accused migrant smugglers, further urging Libyan authorities to ensure an “independent and transparent investigation to bring all perpetrators to justice.” This killing is yet another reminder of the dangers and human rights violations faced by migrants and asylum seekers in Libya. Libya authorities are also accused of turning a blind eye to smugglers who commit abuses. read more
