A new report of the search and rescue organization Sea-Watch records 60 violent incidents by Libyan militias such as the so-called Libyan coastguard, against migrants as well as civil and EU state actors at sea since 2016. 54 of the recorded episodes were committed by the so-called Libyan coastguard. For the first time, the research brings together a significant data collection on extreme episodes of violence in the Mediterranean committed by Libyan actors.
The document is published only days before East- and West-Libyan delegations are welcomed in the Frontex headquarters in Warsaw and at the EU Commission in Brussels. East Libya is a regime under the control of the convicted war criminal General Haftar.
