Libya’s ambassador to the UN Taher el-Sonni on Saturday called for a UN investigation into the death of scores of people in the city of Tarhuna.

The demand came in a phone call between el-Sonni and Rosemary A. DiCarlo, UN’s Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs.

“In a phone call with USG political affairs Rosemary DeCarlo, we asked an immediate investigation by UNSMIL with regards to the bodies found today in Tarhuna hospital, more than 106 civilians including children and women many seem to be executed by shots in the head,” el-Sonni said on Twitter.

Amin al-Hashemi, a spokesman for the Libyan Health Ministry, said signs of torture were found on most of the corpses, including women and children.
