This is Ali, nicknamed Al-Boura, a resident of Qasr Bin Ghashir, Tripoli, Libya. He is a taxi driver who, on the 17th of August, sexually harassed a young Black refugee girl. The girl was terrified and kept asking him to stop, telling him that she was a minor and did not want him touching her. 1/4

Yesterday, ICC heard the case against Khaled al #Hishri — a historic step toward #justice for crimes committed in Libya’s #detentionsystem. The #EU remains complicit by funding and supporting the so-called Libyan Coast Guard, which returns people to abuse and torture. @refugeesinlibya.bsky.social

That burning structure was a tent that sheltered a mother, her daughter, and her husband, who have been forced to live in the olive groves of Sfax since early 2023. The National Guard—now a Tunisian criminal entity funded by Europe—arrived and set it on fire without any remorse.
