(CNN)<\/cite>Three men stormed a factory in Tripoli, doused a Nigerian worker in petrol, and set him on fire, according to a statement by the Libyan interior ministry, in a new reported attack on\u00a0migrants in the north African country<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The United Nations has described the man’s death “another senseless crime against migrants in the country.”<\/div>\n
A statement by Tripoli’s interior ministry on Wednesday said the suspects — all Libyan nationals — had been detained for the attack on the man, who has not been named.<\/div>\n
The ministry cited witness testimony that described the men storming the factory and setting the Nigerian man on fire.<\/div>\n
“We are horrified by the killing of a Nigerian migrant worker in Tripoli, #Libya by three men yesterday. The young man was burned alive, in yet again another senseless crime against migrants in the country,”\u00a0tweeted Federico Soda<\/a>, head of the UN’s International Organization of Migration mission in Libya. “Those responsible must be held to account.”<\/div>\n

\n
War-torn Libya has repeatedly been accused of being a hostile environment for migrants and refugees, many of whom pass through the country in an attempt to reach safer shores in Europe.<\/div>\n
Many of these migrants are intercepted by European authorities and returned to Libya.<\/div>\n
Last month, Amnesty International released a report detailing “horrific cycles of abuses” of migrants in Libya, including unlawful killings, enforced disappearances, torture, and rape.<\/div>\n
The rights group says that the coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated the abuse.<\/div>\n
“Instead of being protected, they are met with a catalogue of appalling human rights abuses and now unfairly for the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic on deeply racist and xenophobic grounds,” said Diana Eltahawy, the rights group’s Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa\u00a0said in the report<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\n
“Despite this, even in 2020 the EU and its member states continue to implement policies trapping tens of thousands of men, women and children in a vicious cycle of abuse, showing callous disregard for people’s lives and dignity.”<\/div>\n
In August, over 45 migrants died in a shipwreck off of the Libyan coast. More than 7,000 people making the perilous journey have been returned to Libya in 2020, according to the\u00a0UN Refugee Agency.<\/a><\/div>\n
Thousands of these are believed to end up in detention centers in parts of Libya controlled by the internationally-recognized government in Tripoli.<\/div>\n
In 2017, a\u00a0CNN team witnessed a dozen men<\/a>\u00a0being sold in a slave auction in Libya, which opened an investigation into the slave markets.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
