A second airstrike 11 minutes later hit the Tajoura Detention Centre, a large hangar located in the same complex where 616 migrants and refugees were being held. Those guilty of crimes under international law must be held to account,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet. In addition, despite the detention centre having already been hit, the Daman Brigade failed to move detainees from the vicinity of a potential military objective or move military objects that were positioned next to the detention centre. Following the airstrikes in July, all migrants and refugees were released from the Tajoura Detention Centre. However, according to the latest information received by the UN Human Rights Office, the Tajoura Detention Centre remains open.
