Shock in Libya: Two mass graves with dozens of dead discovered!

Shocking discoveries and escape stories

The horrific discoveries of the mass graves came as part of police searches during which hundreds of migrants were freed from the hands of unscrupulous traffickers. However, the exact circumstances of death are unclear, as are the nationalities of the dead. The IOM emphasizes that far too many migrants in Libya experience violence, exploitation and abuse. “The security situation in Libya remains tense and dangerous,” explains Nicoletta Giordano, head of the IOM mission in Libya, describing the unbearable conditions in which many refugees and asylum seekers have to live. Reports of serious human rights violations, including unlawful killings, forced labor and sexual trafficking in human beings, are increasing.

The situation in Libya, which has already been burdened by years of conflict, is further aggravated by criminal networks that often cooperate with state authorities. These groups take advantage of the desperate situation of migrants and act without any scruples. According to the IOM, security and human rights in Libya are in a devastating state, which diminishes hope for improvement in the near future, as does the Nau.ch reported.
