A prominent rights group has called on the European Union to reconsider its cooperation with Libya over "horrific abuses" being committed against refugees and migrants in the North African country.

In a new report published on Thursday, Amnesty International criticised the EU and its member states for supporting the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) and its coastguard in its efforts to intercept refugees and migrants at sea and take them back to Libya.
