Amnesty International’s accused European governments of being knowingly complicit in the abuse of migrants and refugees detained in Libya.

The  human  rights watchdog says they must stop collaborating in the capture of these unfortunate tens of thousands and find a legal pathway into Europe.

Amnesty International says European governments are not only fully aware of what is happening to would-be migrants and refugees, they are complicit in the gross abuse of people they don’t want to have crossing into Europe.

Amnesty’s European Director John Dalhuisen says Libyan authorities, militias, armed groups and people smugglers are working together for financial gain.

European governments supporting the Libyan coastguard are implicated in people trafficking and knowingly complicit in the torture and abuse of tens of thousands of people detained.
