#Libya pushback coordinated by @Frontex #Osprey3 asset & Libyan coast guard. ~100 people #Eritrea #Somalia #Sudan intercepted at position 33 38N 13 35E also monitored by #MareJonio @RescueMed @scandura

What happens after interception?

#Libya #Tripoli @UNHCRLibya + @IOM_Libya offered medical aid/food at disembarkation. After some pics, people were transferred to militia groups. They simply disappeared in a well-organized & over-documented system of human rights abuses.

What happens after disembarkation?

#Libya Survivors were forcibly brought a location in #Tripoli controlled by a #GNA affiliated armed group. They are now at risk of human trafficking & extortion. No food/medical care. No access of @IOM_Libya & @UNHCRLibya.

The cycle of abuses continues, sponsored by EU + IT.

#Libya #Tripoli Geolocation of hangar controlled by Zintani al-sawaiq brigade to hold #migrants following their interception at sea. People recently brought there have disappeared in less than 24h. No int'l orgs access.
