Discovered Bodies in Tripoli's Militia Sites; UN Expresses Alarm

Let's Talk Libya:

Troubling Discoveries in Tripoli

Uncle Sam ain't happy as Hell, and rightfully so! The UN's got a bone to pick due to findings of body bags and torture instruments behind a militia called the Stabilisation Support Apparatus (SSA). The SSA, once run by the now-dead big cheese, Abdel-Ghani al-Kikli, has raised red flags like never before.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, is spittin' mad! He shared his outrage this week, declaring evidence proves some serious human rights issues at these SSA detention sites in Tripoli. He ain't mincing words, announcing they've found multiple corpse-related discoveries, along with machinery of pain and possible evidence of judge-free whacks!

Check out these numbers: 10 charred bodies at SSA's base in Abu Salim, and another 67 lifeless bodies in hospital fridges at Abu Salim and Al Khadra facilities. Word on the street is that a suspected burial site's comin' to light at the Tripoli Zoo, which used to belong to the SSA. The identities of these folks remain a mystery.

Turk's fussed, demanding they immediately jam up all affected locations to preserve evidence. He's cryin' out for international access to keep those who caused the chaos in check.
