Rescued migrants refuse to enter Libya

A group of migrants rescued by a cargo ship in the Mediterranean have refused to leave it after it docked in a Libyan port. BBC News reports that the ship brought them to Misrata on 10 November after picking them up from a boat off Libya's western coast. Fourteen people, including unaccompanied children and a mother and baby, have left the ship for official detention centres in Libya but 77 migrants remain on board. ‘We agree to go to any place but not Libya,’ Sudanese migrant Biktor told the Reuters news agency. He said his brother and a friend had both died at the hands of smugglers in Bani Walid, a smuggling centre.
