12 bodies discovered in new mass graves in Libya
At least 100 bodies have been discovered since the retreat of Khalifa Hifter's forces from the area earlier this year.
The remains of 12 people have been discovered in more mass graves near the Libyan city of Tarhuna, in an area occupied until recently by forces aligned with rogue leader Khalifa Hifter.
The discovery, in the Mashrou Rabt district of Tarhuna, is the latest grisly discovery in the area since the Kaniyat militia aligned with Hifter's forces was repelled from the area in May amid a counteroffensive by the Tripoli-based government.
So far, local reports have indicated that at least one hundred bodies have been discovered in collective graves in areas formerly under the control of Hifter’s forces around Tripoli.
Some of the bodies have reportedly shown signs of restraint and evidence of torture.
