HR groups urge EU to end Libya migration talks
Thirty-one human rights and civil organizations have called on the European Union and its member states to immediately cease cooperation with the Libyan authorities in migration control and border management. This appeal is in response to ongoing serious violations against migrants and refugees inside Libya. The organizations emphasized that European support—which includes providing equipment, training, and exchanging intelligence—contributes to intercepting thousands of migrants and forcibly returning them to Libya, where they face arbitrary detention, abuse, extrajudicial killings, and torture. They pointed out that the practices of the Libyan Coast Guard involve the use of force against boats, gunfire, heightened mass arrests, and a rise in hate speech and racism directed at migrants, especially Black migrants. The organizations called for suspending all forms of cooperation with Libya, ensuring rescue operations are carried out in safe locations, conducting independent and transparent investigations into incidents of gunfire on rescue ships, and combating human rights abuses associated with cooperation with the Libyan authorities.
