Slaves in Libya used for organ trade

in #life7 years ago

The widely condemned slavery in Libya goes beyond the sale of human beings as some ‘slave masters’ engage in organ trade, a private legal practitioner reveals.

Organ trade is the trade of human organs, tissues or other body parts for the purpose of transplantation.

According to Bobby Banson, he has seen videos, where at least one person caught up in the slavery alleged that body parts of his colleagues were harvested and sold abroad.
In the midst of the uproar over revelations that Libyan nationals are buying and selling migrants as slaves in Libya, This emerged as more Nigerians are repatriated by the International Organisation for Migration with the backing of the European Union in an ongoing exercise that has seen 1,295 retrieved from Libya in November alone.

Since the beginning of 2017, IOM-facilitated repatriation has brought back 5,578 Nigerian migrants, who were trapped in and outside prisons across Libya.
