Evidence of GNA militia torture & liquidation of Tarhuna prisoners

Evidence of GNA militia torture & liquidation of Tarhuna prisoners - June 9-14, 2020

Turkish Backed Militias and GNA torturing an unnamed civilian from Tarhuna because he is Tarhunian, and presumably aligned with LNA. This follows the Tarhuna offensive which dislodged the LNA forces from the area.

In the video, the militia members are seen cursing him, and telling him to open his legs. Then they beat him, asking him about two men Nabil or Mohamed using fire. During the interrogation, the interrogators are sodomizing the civilian AKM47 Kalashinkov. The civilian has not yet been found.

Last year, the Turkey-backed GNA-affiliated militias captured this young man Younis Al-Barouni from the city of Tripoli, who was originally from the city of Kabau. Kabau is where thAhmed Musa al-Zintani, from the LNA battalion, who was killed in combat. battalion of LNA, comes from.
He was captured in # Al-Zahraa axis by Janzour militia.
He is the brother of another LNA fighter Haitham al-Barouni, who was killled along with Ahmed Musa al-Zintani at the airport hub two days after his brother Yunus was captured.
On June 14, his family received the news that prisoner Yunus Al-Barouni had been killed.
Informing the family, the militias said that they found him today in a mass graveyard in Tarhuna, and accused the LNA of killing him, although his body is still fresh.Furthermore, he has been a GNA militia prisoner for over a year. Most of the dead bodies in the city were found on June 9 and overwhelming majority belonged to the LNA priosners captured by the GNA. The bodies were not decomposed. This points to the likelihood they were liquidated a few days after the offensive, and some were liquidated the same day.

Such treatment of prisoners of war is in violation of the Geneva Convention; by using militias rather than soldiers in uniform, GNA hopes to avoid accountability for war crimes. However, given that these militias receive command and approval from the GNA, scrutiny at the highest level is appropriate.
