UN chief urges Libya to shut migrant detention centers
Antonio Guterres, the UN secretary-general, said 22% of those detained in Libya's holding facilities for migrants are children.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres renewed his call for Libya’s authorities to close migrant detention centers across the country, describing a raft of human rights abuses inside the facilities.
In a report submitted to the Security Council on Thursday, Guterres said more than 2,780 migrants were detained across the war-ravaged country as of July 31. Twenty-two percent of those held are children.
