Ambassador and Head of the EU Delegation to Libya Bettina Muscheidt visited the Tariq al-Matar migrant shelter and detention centre on the outskirts of Tripoli, Monday.
Muscheidt’s visit comes amid ongoing debate over the conditions of the detention camps, created by a 2016 EU-Libyan agreement in an attempt to stem the flow of refugees and asylum seekers crossing the Mediterranean.
Would-be migrants intercepted at sea by the Libyan Coastal Guard are brought to the detention camps. Last month a slave-auction market of sub-Saharan African refugees in Libya was brought to light, causing outrage over Libya’s management of the crisis.
