Libya, no escape from hell

Ce documentaire se penche sur les centres de détention en Libye où les réfugiés endurent des conditions désastreuses en attendant que leur sort soit décidé par les milices, l’Europe ou l’ONU. Officiellement sous le contrôle du gouvernement, ces centres sont en réalité gérés par des milices qui tirent profit des migrants. Le film examine le système de détention, le contrôle des milices et le trafic qui en découle et critique les actions de l’UE, qui finance le système tout en évitant d’en assumer la responsabilité, s’interrogeant sur la nécessité d’un changement et sur les solutions possibles. La guerre civile libyenne a réduit l’influence occidentale, révélant les divisions de l’UE et permettant aux puissances non occidentales d’intervenir. La politique défectueuse de l’Europe permet aux gardes-côtes libyens de renvoyer de force les migrants dans une Libye fragmentée, en proie à des factions politiques et à des milices.

- To push for wider protections for all migrants and refugees who pass through Libya, including those who are victims of crimes against humanity.
- To expand safe and legal pathways for people to seek asylum in Libya, look for employment and be reunited with relatives (humanitarian corridors).
- To make available all data sources, mapping, testimonies and names of the persecutors to international NGOs and lawyers to enable them to bring those responsible to justice.
- To raise public awareness of the real situation of people trapped in Libya.
- To create an interactive archive (Facebook page) where victims of human rights violations can tell their story, and the public can have direct contact with them and support them in many different ways.
- We would like to use the film as a means to exert political pressure on EU institutions and governments (to end their support for agencies such as the Libyan Coast Guard; to take in people who need to be evacuated from Libya) and to raise public awareness around the issue.
- We would like to organise actions such as petitions and open letter to send to government/EU officials and, with the help of concerned public figures, digital campaigns on social medias which would consist in sharing the film and massively calling out policy makers.
- We would like to create an online archive for past, present and future with information about the history of EU/Libya cooperation, the court cases that have been launched and all the actions of the campaign. NGOs can play an important part, using their influence and network, they can increase the impact of the film.
- We would like to organize mobile projections and screen this film or parts of it outside government buildings e.g. parliament offices in member states, Commission delegations, the UN; involving refugees-led organizations. So that decision makers hear the testimonials of the migrants and so that they can no longer say: “I didn’t know” and walk away.
