UN report: Majority of female migrants faced gang rape in Libya
2018-12-21
[Al Jazeera] The "overwhelming majority" of women and older girls who passed through Libya as migrants colonists reported being gang-raped by traffickers or witnessed others taken away to be abused, according to a UN report based on hundreds of interviews.

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said in a statement published on Thursday that its report, along with the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
support mission in Libya, turned up "unimaginable horrors" among migrants colonists who sought to reach Europe
...also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
through the largely lawless country.

The 61-page report covers the period between January 2017 to August 2018.

The OHCHR said Sherlocks pulled together 1,300 first-hand accounts detailing "a terrible litany of violations and abuses committed by a range of state officials, gangs, smugglers and traffickers against migrants colonists and refugees".

Those included unlawful killings, torture, arbitrary detention, gang rape, slavery, forced labour and extortion.

"The UN staff visiting 11 detention centres [in Libya], where thousands of migrants colonists and refugees are being held, documented torture, ill-treatment, forced labour, and rape by the guards, and reported that women are often held in facilities without female guards, exacerbating the risk of sexual abuse and exploitation," OHCHR said.

"Female detainees are often subjected to strip searches carried out or watched by male guards."
