Sold into slavery: A migrant's ordeal

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

A migrant recounts his ordeal as a victim of the slave trade in Libya. There's been angry reaction to images of African nationals being auctioned off for manual labour in Libya. The country is a gateway to Europe for thousands of people from Africa and Asia. But many fall victim to warlords and militias eager to exploit them.
