“Libya’s political leadership, including elected members of the General National Congress, must take immediate steps to end ongoing human rights abuses and establish the rule of law,” a statement said.
“Everyday we receive desperate pleas from victims of human rights abuses all over Libya asking us to intervene and protect them,” said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty’s Middle East and North Africa deputy director.
“We hear of individuals being abducted by armed militias, tortured including to death, driven out of their homes and killed or injured during armed confrontations.
“Such practices are increasing in a climate of impunity.” — AFP.
