The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has strongly condemned the killing of 15 migrants and asylum seekers in Sabratha city.
The mission confirmed that 11 charred bodies were found inside a migrant boat, in addition to four other bodies found outside, calling on the Libyan authorities to ensure a prompt, independent and transparent investigation to bring all the perpetrators to justice.
"This attack is a stark reminder of the weak protection faced by migrants and asylum seekers in Libya, and the widespread human rights violations committed by powerful smuggling and criminal networks that need to stop quickly and prosecute," the UNSMIL said.
