...There have been several reports on torture and abuse in the many detention centres in Libya, many of whom are run by local militant groups due to the current power vaccum.

Detainees told MSF how men are forced to run naked in the courtyard until they collapse from exhaustion, while women are raped and made to call family back home for money to free them.
