The British newspaper "The Guardian" published the account of a Sudanese refugee named David Yambio, who said that the head of the judicial police of the Radaa militia, Osama Najim, personally supervised his torture. 

Yambio said in an interview with the British newspaper that his hopes of achieving justice were "shattered" after #Italy released Osama Najim, the head of the Libyan judicial police, who was accused of committing war crimes in #Libya. 

The British newspaper indicated that the former refugee in Libya, David Yambio, says that #Rome has blood on its hands after the release of Najim, who was involved in torturing me inside the prison in #Tripoli. 

It pointed out that Yambio was detained in #Maitiga prison in Tripoli, after several attempts to cross the Mediterranean in search of asylum in Europe were thwarted by the Libyan Coast Guard as part of a controversial agreement with Italy. 

 “All my fragile hopes for justice, which we all held on to, were shattered,” said Yambio, who is currently in Italy and works as a human rights activist. “Najim was in Italy and then he fled. This makes us all afraid. How can we be safe in a country that pretended to protect us and instead protects an executioner?”

“The Italian-Libyan deal to intercept illegal migrants and transfer them to Libyan prisons is a death sentence for us. Countless people have been killed because of this process,” he added.

“The experience that I and others have been through, or are still going through, is not entirely of Libyan making. Italy is complicit and has blood on its hands,” he continued.

“I first saw Osama Najim in Jdeideh prison in 2019 before he was transferred to Mitiga prison. He was using refugees as forced labor to build a new prison and load heavy weapons onto trucks. Najim was systematically abusing people, both personally and through his guards.”

 "Najim personally supervised my flogging with a water pipe and ordered me to be flogged and beaten by guards carrying machine guns whenever I made a mistake, even though he was most of the time very tired and hungry," he added. "I managed to escape from prison in 2020, after climbing a 5-meter-high wall before I managed to reach Italy by boat in June 2022." #Libya
