Amnesty accuses Libya of torture

Amnesty International, given its first access to Libya in 15 years, has detailed a number of human rights violations, including the disappearance of prisoners, use of the death penalty, torture and intolerance of political activity.

The four-member team shared its report with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who promised to consider Amnesty’s recommendations, team leader Claudio Cordone said.
