Libyan security forces have violently broken up a sit-in by migrants protesting outside a former UN community centre in Tripoli.
More than 600 people were arrested in the raid early this morning – they’ve been sent to a nearby detention centre.
Many of the protesters, some of them women and children, had been camped outside the building since October following a big clampdown on migrants.
An aid group, the Norwegian Refugee Council, says some of those arrested were injured, with one suffering from a gunshot wound. It’s demanded that the migrants be released.
