According to the Libyan interior ministry, a Nigerian migrant worker was doused in petrol and set on fire by three men in a factory in Tripoli. Tripoli's interior ministry said on Wednesday that the three suspects are Libyan nationals and have been detained. Libya has been accused of being a hostile environment for migrants, many of whom pass through Libya to reach Europe but are returned to Libya by European authorities. Amnesty International released a report last month detailing the human rights abuses that Migrants face in Libya. Thousands of these migrants are believed to be held in detention centers in Libya that are controlled by the internationally-recognized government in Tripoli. In 2017, CNN reporters witnessed men being sold into slavery in Libya.
