The Italian organization "Mediterranea Saving Humans" said that the statement of the Italian Ministry of Interior regarding the Libyan ports being a safe place to disembark migrants in is a distortion of reality.

The organization added that the inclusion of Libya within the search and rescue area is contrary to the statement of the spokeswoman for the European Commission for Migration, Natasha Bertaud, who confirmed that there will be no repatriation of migrants to Libya.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Office expressed concern in its report over the "atrocities" taking place in the immigrants' centres in Libya, as it put it.
