Libya: Detainees tortured and denied medical care
Detainees in the Libyan city of Misrata are being tortured and denied urgent medical care, leading Médecins Sans Frontières MSF (Doctors Without Borders) to suspend its operations in detention centres in Misrata.
MSF teams began working in Misrata’s detention centres in August 2011 to treat war-wounded detainees.
Since then, MSF doctors have been increasingly confronted with patients who have suffered injuries caused by torture during interrogation sessions.

In total, MSF has treated 115 people with torture-related wounds and reported all the cases to the relevant authorities in Misrata.
