Mass Graves with 49 Migrants' Bodies Discovered in Libya

Authorities uncover two mass graves in Kufra, liberate 76 survivors, and detain three suspects linked to migrant abuse.

Libyan authorities have found two mass graves in the southeastern city of Kufra, containing the remains of 49 migrants, with autopsies underway to determine causes of death.
One grave, located on a farm, held 19 bodies, while another near a migrant detention site contained at least 30 victims, with survivors alleging nearly 70 people were buried there.
Three suspects, including a Libyan national and two foreigners, were arrested on charges of detaining, torturing, and exploiting migrants; they remain in custody during the investigation.
Authorities rescued 76 migrants from the detention site, where survivors reported systematic abuse, including torture and forced confinement by human trafficking networks.
Libya, a key transit point for migrants heading to Europe, continues to face severe instability and widespread reports of human rights abuses following the 2011 fall of Muammar Gaddafi.
