GENEVA: EU funding is facilitating the commission of abuses against migrants Libya, who are being systematically tortured and forced into sexual slavery, a United Nations investigation has found. The group’s report said there were reasonable grounds to believe that sexual slavery, a crime against humanity, was being committed against migrants. Mission member Tracy Robinson said they also uncovered slavery in general. “We have found instances of enslavement of persons who have been traded to outside entities to perform various services, but also sexual slavery of women in and around detention centres,” she said. The investigators voiced concern about the deprivation of liberty of Libyans and migrants throughout the country, in what they said could also amount to crimes against humanity.
