📅 Bologna | 26 - 27 January 2024
Evacuate!
Human Rights Defenders from Libya!
We invite you to discuss possibilities of evacuation, solidarity on the routes,
documentation, protection and legal litigation.
We, Refugees in Libya, protested for 100 days in front of the UNHCR in Tripoli, Libya. On the 10th of January 2022, our protest was brutally dismantled: Hundreds of our comrades and refugee activists were arbitrarily detained in the Ain Zara detention center as a punishment for their defense of human rights. In July 2023, after 18 months of torture and forced work, 221 comrades were released from prison and most of them are still and again in Tripoli facing destitution, lack of medical care and the constant risk of arbitrary detention and physical violence.
Together with the Network Alliance with Refugees in Libya (ARiL), we now launch a tour through different european cities with several events to make visible the situation in Libya and recognize the dedication of our comrades as human rights defenders.
We demand their immediate
evacuation to safe countries to ensure their physical and psychological wellbeing. The two days event in Bologna will be the starting point for this transnational mobilization.
