Amnesty International has condemned the European Union’s ongoing cooperation with Libya regarding migration control, labeling the collaboration as supporting a system inherently rooted in abuse. The organization asserts that EU support enables the Libyan authorities to subject migrants and refugees to arbitrary detention, torture, and other ill-treatment. Amnesty’s criticism focuses on the EU’s financial and logistical assistance, which it claims indirectly bolsters the capacity of Libyan forces to intercept individuals at sea and return them to detention centers. These centers are widely known for horrific conditions and systemic human rights violations. The report details accounts from migrants detailing widespread abuses suffered within the Libyan detention system. Amnesty is urging the EU to cease all support for Libya’s migration controls and instead prioritize safe and legal pathways for refugees and migrants. The organization argues that the current approach disregards international law and perpetuates a cycle of violence and exploitation.
