Attacks are taking place in refugee detention centres in Libya, with Christians reporting crimes of an horrific nature, in June.
Sara, a 23-year-old Ethiopian Christian, described how she and other believers had to hide evidence they were Christians from centre guards at the detention centre in Libya where they were being. ‘We hid our crosses, because the Libyan police working in that place didn’t appreciate Christians.’
Violence against detainees, including sexual assaults, is commonplace. ‘[They] did whatever they wanted to women,’ says Sara. ‘They raped them. I saw it with my own eyes. When you’re hungry, they tell you to walk, and you get raped, and then you get a piece of bread.’
