The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that there are around 670 000 migrants in the North African country. It is believed that between 5 000 to 6 000 people are being held in camps there.
The perpetrators, motivated by greed, sadism and the desire for power, include local European Union partners.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that there are around 670 000 migrants in the North African country. It is believed that between 5 000 to 6 000 people are being held in camps there. He explained how the Libyan coast guard intercepts refugees and takes them back to torture camps. Since the traffickers’ profits have fallen, they use torture to generate money. “We have seen a similar situation in Sinai, where families of women from Eritrea were blackmailed.
When it became known that people in Libya were being sold as slaves, EU representatives promised to evacuate them and bring them to Europe legally. Pro Asyl is critical of how this has been handled: “This process has been so slow and there are so few countries willing to accept them that the UNHCR says these people must stay in detention camps until there are places for them. These people’s suffering is linked to an inhuman European refugee policy.
