Our investigation has also identified some of those suspected of committing these crimes.
Dozens of images and videos on social media platforms show the mutilation of bodies by men loyal to the Libyan National Army - led by General Haftar - who is currently attempting to take the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
The mutilation and desecration of bodies is prohibited under international humanitarian law and can be prosecuted as a war crime.
A warning: this investigation contains extremely shocking images right from the start.
