Amnesty Condemns EU-Libya Migration Deal as ‘Racist’ Amid Crackdown on Migrants

“The European Union is seeking to expand its migration cooperation with rival Libyan authorities and allied armed groups just as they have been escalating their campaign of racially discriminatory mass arrests, arbitrary detention, and unlawful collective expulsions of refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants supported by xenophobic discourse,” the UK-based rights group said.
