The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that three Eritreans who “left Israel for a third country over the past year” (tr. who were kicked out of Israel and returned to Libya) have been murdered by Islamic State in Libya.

The Eritreans, who were Christian, were identified by family and friends. The story was originally brought to public attention by the Hotline for Refugees and Migrants, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Israel.

On reading that story in Haaretz, I visited the website of the Hotline for Refugees and Migrants, and discovered far worse.
