Un groupe de migrants, principalement des Éthiopiens et des Érythréens, a forcé les portes d’un centre de rétention où il était enfermé, puis a marché vers la capitale Tripoli, à une vingtaine de kilomètres au nord, pour demander l’aide de l’ONU et des ONG de défense des droits de l’Homme. Ballottés de camps de torture en centre de rétention depuis leur arrivée en Libye en 2015, ces migrants veulent aujourd’hui quitter la Libye le plus tôt possible.
