NEW INVESTIGATION LAUNCH AND SCREENING

Thursday 1 May, doors open at 6.30pm

Genesis Cinema, London,

‍

Lawyers for Justice in Libya (LFJL) invites you to the first public screening of their new investigation, in partnership with Forensis: ‘Escaping Libya’s Detention Industry’.

This joint investigation reveals an industry of detention, extortion, release, and re-capture, to which thousands of vulnerable migrants and refugees are subjected in detention centres across Libya, and which is sustained by EU support.

Bringing together testimonies, satellite image analysis, and 3D reconstruction, the film traces the evolution of Libya’s detention industry, and its ongoing relationship with externalised EU border controls, through the accounts of those who have survived it.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A.

Get tickets here.
