Libya: Seal Libyan Sites of Rights Violations, Says UN Rights Chief

Shocked over human rights violations at Libyan detention facilities operated by the SSA in Tripoli, UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk has called on authorities to seal the sites and conduct independent investigations into suspected torture, deaths, and extrajudicial killings. The findings align with prior reports and witness accounts, raising serious concerns about accountability under international standards. The situation deepens amid reports of violence following the recent death of SSA leader Abdul Ghani al-Kikli, which has spiraled into clashes in the region, claiming lives and damaging infrastructure.
