NEW YORK: Libya's former rebels are holding some 7,000 detainees, many of them sub-Saharan Africans, without access to due legal process after the country's civil war, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon said in a new report.

Ban cited reports that some detainees had been tortured, that some people had been targeted because of their skin colour, that women were held under male supervision without female guards and that children were being detained alongside adults.
