Libya: Anti-Migrant Rhetoric Fuels Abuses

In Libya, authorities have been using strong language against migrants, which has led to a wave of detention and expulsion. This rhetoric has sparked protests, with demonstrators calling for migrants and refugees to be deported. Protests were reported in Tripoli, where people gathered outside the UN refugee agency's headquarters. The protesters demanded that the organization leave the country and that migrant settlement be ended. Further details about the situation are available from Human Rights Watch, which has been monitoring the developments in Libya. The organization has expressed concern over the treatment of migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees in the country.
