| Description |
Two brothers suspected of being involved in the 17 February Revolution were taken by members of both the 21st battalion and another militia to a school in Bersis, a village 50km north of Benghazi. The following day, they were both taken to the village of Al Rajma, 30km east of Benghazi, where they were held together for three days before being separated. There, they were tortured with electric shocks and severely beaten on all parts of their bodies for being from the region of Misrata, a city located 200km east of Tripoli known for its support of the Government of Tripoli and not of the internationally-recognised Government of Tobruk, whose armed forces are headed by General Haftar. One was released but the other's body was found on 6 November 2014, dumped in the streets of Al Marj, a town 100km northeast of Benghazi. According to his forensic medical report, his death was due to a gunshot in the head. |
