DCIM racist manhunt continues in Tobruk,with reports of civilians joining in the arrests. They hunt people down and proudly film it for propaganda. This is the violence they sell as "security and stability". #Libya #Tobruk

On 27 August,a boat carrying around 40 Sudanese refugees reportedly sank off Tobruk. Entire families, women, children and infants are feared dead or missing. On #InternationalDayOfTheDisappeared, remember: at Europe borders, disappearance is part of the system.

The so-called Libyan coastguard fired two shots towards the Louise Michel. Late yesterday afternoon, our crew became aware of a boat in distress. Alongside the Louise Michel, the so-called Libyan coastguard (scLcG) also arrived and began an interception operation, an illegal pushback.
