Tunisian security forces have committed "serious abuses" against black African migrants, according to new research from Human Rights Watch. In response, the NGO has called on the European Union to suspend migration control funding to Tunisia.
The abuses documented by Human Rights Watch (HRW) include beatings, use of excessive force, some cases of torture, arbitrary arrests and detention, collective expulsions, dangerous actions at sea, forced evictions, and theft of money and belongings.
