EU cooperation with Libya to stem migrant flow ‘inhuman’: UN

Geneva, (MILLAT ONLINE):The European Union’s policy of helping the Libyan authorities intercept migrants in the Mediterranean and return them to “horrific” prisons in Libya is “inhuman”, the United Nations said Tuesday.
“The suffering of migrants detained in Libya is an outrage to the conscience of humanity,” the UN human rights
chief Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said in a statement, which blasted “the European Union’s policy of assisting the Libyan Coast
Guard to intercept and return migrants in the Mediterranean (as) inhuman.”
