HRW reports abuses against civilians in Libya
- 12 years ago
Rights groups have accused both Muammar Gaddafi's forces and his opponents of abuses against civilian detainees in Libya.
The charred remains of 53 people have been found in a warehouse in Tripoli. Witnesses say they were shot dead and set alight by Gaddafi forces.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) says it has strong evidence suggesting government forces went on a spate of arbitrary killing as Tripoli was falling.
Sidney Kwiram from HRW has been working in Libya. She spoke to Al Jazeera about the abuses against civilians.
