[MAGHAREBIA] A raid by Libyan security forces on Tajoura prison uncovered a number of illegally-incarceratedPlease don't kill me! inmates, including women, Libya Herald reported on Thursday (September 26th). The defence ministry unit also reportedly found evidence of torture among prisoners held at the facility near Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... Earlier this month, UN Secretary-General ![]() ... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan... voiced concerns over the slow progress in transferring prisoners from the hands of militias to authorities. Thousands of detainees in Libya "continue to be held by armed brigades not affiliated with the state in any form", Ban said on September 5th. "The continuing ill-treatment and torture in non-state-run detention facilities is unacceptable," the UN chief added. |
