IOM says migrants missing in Libya 'of gravest concern'
The UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM) on Friday expressed grave concerns for the fate of hundreds of migrants returned to Libya by the coast guard this year who are now unaccounted for. The organisation stressed that it is ''unacceptable for people rescued at sea to be returned to abuse, trafficking, and war'' and reiterated its call to the European Union for urgent action to establish a clear and swift disembarkation mechanism to end returns to Libya.
