Treatment Of Migrants And Refugees In Libya

EDM number 978 in 2016-17, proposed by Ann Clwyd on 23/02/2017.
Categorised under the topics of Africa, Asylum, Broadcasting and Immigration.

That this House is shocked by the appalling treatment of migrants and refugees in Libya by state officials and illegal people trafficking networks, as depicted by the every powerful Ross Kemp documentary Libya's Migrant Hell, shown at a Parliamentary screening organised by the All-Party Parliamentary Human Rights Group; notes with considerable concern that many making the journey to Libya in the hope of reaching Europe are fleeing violent conflict and famine in their home countries; calls on the Government and its partners within the international community to assist Libyan officials and international and domestic humanitarian organisations, as a matter of urgency, to ensure that migrants and refugees within that country are treated with dignity, provided with adequate food and basic healthcare and not subjected to ill-treatment; and further calls on the Government and others to do much more to address the underlying causes resulting in increased flows of migrants and refugees as well as to ensure that safe and legal channels into Europe are provided for those who qualify for international protection.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
