On 26 November, Amnesty International published a report condemning the ‘impunity and lack of adequate reparations for crimes against humanity’ in Libya’s Tarhouna. The report found there to be ‘reasonable grounds’ to believe that the al-Kaniat armed group committed ‘murder, torture, enforced disappearance and unlawful imprisonment, as part of their planned, systematic and large-scale attack against the civilian population of Tarhouna between 2015 and 2020, in the aim of maintaining their control over the area’. The rights watchdog says that, four years later, justice and adequate reparations remain elusive for the survivors and relatives of victims of the armed group. Amnesty further urges the Libyan government and Libyan Arab Armed Forces (LAAF) to ‘publicly apologize to survivors and victims’ relatives and ensure that all receive full reparations, including financial compensation, without discrimination, and cooperate in the arrest and handover of suspects to the ICC.’
