Inside Libya migrant detention centre

As many as 400 migrants are believed to have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea as their boat capsized off the Libyan coast.

Many of the migrants who try to reach European shores first have to get to Libya.

Once there, many are detained by the local authorities and end up being held for months in often squalid conditions.

Quentin Sommerville reports from one such centre in the Libyan port of Misrata.
