Three crew members were held for 21 hours in various military compounds where they were hooded, handcuffed and subjected to a mock execution, the corporation said.
One, correspondent Feras Killani, a Palestinian refugee, said he was accused of being a British spy and believed he was going to be executed.
He said: "They knocked me down to the ground with their guns, AK-47s. I was down on my knees and I heard them cocking their guns.
"I was on the floor on my side, hands and feet cuffed, lying half on a mattress, and they were beating me
"I thought they were going to shoot me. It was a fake execution."
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "This is yet another example of the horrific crimes being committed in Libya.
