A year ago, thousands of refugees had been demonstrating for more than 100 days in front of the UNHCR office in Tripoli: a historic act of self-organization under the harshest conditions. Instead of listening and improving, UNHCR criticized their protest, ignored their voices and remained silent in light of the brutal eviction and detention of those claiming their basic rights. Despite repression and constant threats, the demands of the “refugees in Libya” prevail and their struggles continue in various forms.
To support Refugees in Libya in their fight and to amplify the voices of all those who are being ignored, punished and treated unfairly by the agency that is supposed to protect them, we are calling for a two-day action in front of UNHCR headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland on 9-10 December 2022.
