Detention abuses staining the new Libya

At the time of Amnesty International’s visit to Libya between 18 August and 21 September, some 2,500 people were held in detention facilities in Tripoli, its suburbs and al-Zawiya – all arrested since late August 2011. About 1,130 detainees were held in Misratah in mid-September; some had been detained for months, others had been arrested since late August when Zliten, Khums and Tripoli fell under NTC control. During these visits, Amnesty International delegates met detention administrators and interviewed about 300 detainees without the presence of guards. The delegates also interviewed a number of released detainees, and relatives of individuals still held in western Libya.
