On 15 February, the Attorney General said it had ordered the detention of two members of the Emergency Department within the Misrata Security Directorate due to their involvement in the torture and abuse of a Pakistani national while he was detained in the department. The investigation showed they violated the rights of the suspect during interrogation, deliberately torturing him. The AG said his treatment was cruel and degrading. This came after videos of the Pakistani individual being tortured were circulated on social media.
Separately, on 11 February, the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that at least 16 Pakistani migrants died after a boat carrying migrants hoping to reach Europe sank off the coast of Zawiyya a couple of days before. There were 63 people on board the boat, 37 of whom survived, while ten others are still missing, according to Pakistani media reports.
