torture in lybia jails

Libyan jails and have recorded 27 deaths because of torture since 2011.
Torture and brutality are more commen in Libyan prisons two years after the overthrow of leader Muammar Gaddafi. Around 8,000 prisoners are held without trial in government jails because of  suspicion of having fought for Gaddafi. "Torture and ill-treatment in Libya is an on-going and widespread concern in many detention centres," said the report from the U.N.'s top human rights office.

 The paper explained cases of men, some hauled off the street on the way to work or in their homes without explanation , and how they were beaten and raped with bottles or large bullets and left without food in filthy jails.
