In Tunisia, rights groups are urging the government to stop the mass deportation of sub-Saharan migrants and refugees and to provide humanitarian aid to hundreds of asylum seekers who were forcibly rounded up and abandoned by Tunisian authorities at the Libyan border. Footage published by Al Jazeera shows hundreds of refugees trapped in the heavily militarized remote region of Ben Guerdane at the Tunisian-Libyan border. Many were forced to drink seawater after days without food or fresh water, and those wounded received no medical care. Human Rights Watch has collected the testimonies of dozens who’ve said they were sexually assaulted or raped — at times facing abuse from authorities on both sides of the border. Tunisia’s President Kais Saied has denied the reports, claiming refugees are being treated humanely.
