BBC team mistreated in Libya

Three members of a BBC team covering the conflict in Libya have been detained and mistreated for 21 hours by the Libyan military.



According to the BBC the men, a Palestinian refugee with a Syrian passport, a Turk and a Briton, were stopped at a checkpoint at Al-Zahra south of Zawiya on Monday.



Their local driver was also taken.



The men say their money and equipment were taken and they were accused of having a gun.



They told the BBC they were taken next to barracks on the main highway, and that their lives were also threatened and they were beaten before they were later released.
