Armed groups across Libya are responsible for crimes that could leave them liable in front of the International Criminal Court, warned the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL.)
In a statement released on Friday the organisation said that the groups were responsible for “abductions of civilians including minors on account of their actual perceived origin, opinion, family and political affiliation.2
The UNSMIL called on those with effective control and power in Libya, to “refrain from abducting civilians on the basis of their identity or opinion, to immediately release all those held on such grounds; and to ensure the well-being of anyone deprived of their liberty.”

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
