Seeking safety, finding fear: Refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants in Libya and Malta

Amnesty International, 2010, 11 pages

Many then embark on perilous sea journeys towards Europe. Those who survive often end up in Malta, where they face detention followed by isolation and poverty in cramped accommodation.
