About 4,000 people are still being held in militia detention centers in Libya, often in secret and many are tortured, a UN envoy said on Thursday. Head of the UN mission to Libya Ian Martin said good progress was being made toward holding the country's first democratic election, but militia prisons were one of a number of "serious obstacles" to establishing the rule of law, AFP has reported. UN: 4,000 people held in secret Libya prisons "Cases of mistreatment and torture of detainees continue. Solving of the issue should be a priority of the Libyan government" Martin told the UN Security Council. The ruling National Transitional Council has pledged to hold the election for a 200-seat constituent assembly in June, but diplomats said there are worries that it may have to be delayed.
