E U should not deal with' Libya government'

Rights group Amnesty International says "the European Union risks fuelling horrific abuses of migrants and refugees in Libya". 

In a statement, the group has criticised the EU's plans to cooperate more closely with Libya’s new authorities to tackle migration.

Amnesty says that in the absence of safeguards in Libya
to respect the rights of migrants and refugees, training its coast guard to intercept them, means the EU risks becoming complicit in their alleged abuse. 

Libya's internationally backed government recently requested greater logistical and training support from Europe for its coastguard. 

But the country’s new authorities are only nominally in control of its own forces and Libya is still suffering from political chaos with rival administrations in the county.
