Libya is forcing people across its land borders into 'no man's land' remote stretches of deserts without water, according to a UN rights expert. "According to one Libyan official, DCIM is now and I quote, 'deporting more people faster than ever before,'" said Lewis. These are operating along Libya's land borders, particularly in the west of the country, near Algeria and Tunisia," he said. Two years ago, the commission delivered 30 off-road vehicles to Libya's ministry of interior to help with border management. Around 12,000 migrants are currently imprisoned in 27 Libyan detention centres, posing questions on the fate of the thousands of others.
