Last summer, after similar protests, refugees were reportedly taken to underground prisons where at least one was tortured to death.

He still doesn't know. I can't get in touch with him after another crackdown on communication.

One messaged me about his guilt at leaving others behind: "I am not happy. My spirit is with them. While I went out yesterday I saw heartbreaking looks from them."
"Hits the military camp located few meters from behind our wall" - a refugee there messaged me.
"Every two weeks one person died in the detention. Maybe you will (be) surprised. Death is nothing, just that is our fate."

I was the first person to speak to him about it since.
"The European Union & the UNHCR must bear responsibility for this massacre," he says. It's not the fault of Libyans so much as the international community that failed to protect them.
