EU-funded Libyan forces escalate violence against migrants and rescuers in Central Mediterranean

Le Monde reports that Libyan actors, supported and funded by the EU, are intensifying violence against migrants and humanitarian workers in the Central Mediterranean, as witnessed aboard the Ocean Viking. The claim is based on NGO accounts and journalistic reporting, with no independent corroboration. This matters as it implicates EU policy in humanitarian abuses and could affect migration and foreign-policy debates.
