According to a team on the ground, on Monday a group of 18 Sudanese individuals were expelled without due process after being transferred between two detention centres. A month earlier, on 5 November, another group of 19 Sudanese were deported. In addition, they were not given access to relevant UN organizations, including the UN Mission’s (UNSMIL) Human Rights Service, during their time in detention. ‘Routinely at risk’On 25 November, OHCHR published a report, entitled Unsafe and Undignified: The forced expulsion of migrants from Libya, showing how asylum-seekers and other migrants in Libya are routinely at risk of arbitrary or collective expulsion. The office is also urging the international community to support the Libyan government in the areas of migration and border management, to ensure these efforts do not undermine human rights.
