Amnesty International called on the European Union to reconsider its cooperation with Libyan authorities after thousands of migrants en route to Europe this year were intercepted and subjected to a litany of abuses in the war-ravaged country.
In a report published Thursday, the London-based rights group urged the EU to make any further support to the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) conditional on ending “long-standing patterns of abuse against refugees and migrants, including by state officials and affiliated militias.”
