Libya is hell on earth. Refugees and migrants stranded in Tunisia tell their stories of violence, rape and murder in Libya. Their eyes have seen hell. Many were beaten, raped, tortured. In private prisons. The so-called Hamsa boys stop trucks with migrants, hand them over to smugglers who put the Africans in private cells. They receive the worst treatments till their relatives back home send money to get them out of there. But some die of exhaustion before the money arrives. And many keep on living with physical and mental wounds which will never dissapear. The EU gives a lot of money to the Libyan government to stop the refugees from taking boats to Italy. Italy even gives lots of money in secret to Libyan smugglers to stop the migrant route. To what human cost? There are currently one million of migrants and refugees in Libya.
