The Committee for Justice (CFJ) has documented troubling information regarding detention conditions inside Jandouba Prison, located in the Gharyan area of Libya, indicating that a number of detainees have been subjected to violations including ill‑treatment and physical abuse.
According to CFJ’s documentation, multiple complaints reported incidents of beatings and torture against some detainees, in addition to a significant increase in food prices at prison‑operated shops, further exacerbating inmates’ suffering amid already harsh detention conditions.
The Committee for Justice considers these practices to constitute serious human rights violations, particularly regarding physical integrity and human dignity, as well as the right to adequate conditions of detention.
CFJ calls for an urgent and transparent investigation into these allegations, accountability for those responsible for any violations, and the improvement of detention conditions, while ensuring that correctional facilities are subject to legal oversight in order to safeguard the rights of detainees.
