were forced to listen on the phone. which. he was they chained me up on me up and tortured me with electric shocks pleaded. they tortured men with electric shocks to their genitals and women with shocks to their breasts until they cried and screamed loudly. they did it so they would get the money faster. the torture systematic the methods she describes accounts from many other refugees after year and a half i mean i managed to escape as you tried to cross the mediterranean she was picked up by the libyan coast guard and forced into a government run detention center. who all live in the detention centers is 100 percent worse we. love others that while there was not enough food. once every 2 days we were given a small portion of pastor dry bread and
8:20 am
a little water it's no way to live for someone who has to stay there longer you people were dying of diseases and injuries they suffered i believe that there are barely any healthy migrants in detention. now i mean as living in a camp run by the un refugee agency she hopes some country will take her and she doesn't care which one as long as it's safe. and sound there morally is the united c.r.'s representative here in new she works closely with her colleagues in libya and knows the conditions there. me what happens in these centers is is. the contrary of life is the contrary of respect is the contrary all human rights and it's the contrary of the right for every person to feel protected she believes the international community needs to do more as almost 5000 refugees are still being held in libyan detention centers i think everybody should feel responsible to make
8:21 am
this stop and to find a tentative human i'll turn it if. we fly on to august to learn how the evacuees from libya are doing the city in central new shares known as the gateway to the sahara but we have never using it to anyone some 1600 refugees all rescued from libya live in this un run camp it's a tent city in the desert. here we need it to him from sudan that's what he wants to be called for security reasons he tells us he was thrown in jail and then sold into slavery for good. people came and bought us like slaves. and they said we will let you work you get money for it. but in the end we didn't get any money. for november they said you were a slave be
8:22 am
a black man and they even woke us up in the middle of the night to torture us one award and we show him videos secretly recorded by refugees they remind him of his own experiences. when one is ever going to see these pictures i remember my friend who was killed in the jail. he was my best friend. in libya lawlessness doesn't only exist in government prisons the ongoing civil war has left the country controlled by different militias and largely in a legal vacuum. migrants in particular are often viewed as fair game. matt am from sudan was abducted in broad daylight. they gave us a. i went out to go to was sharp 3 men grabbed me and forced me into a car where they raped me right there on the street and just threw me out onto the
8:23 am
road. to this day whoa once haven't healed she says the doctor just did so sedatives nothing that really helps. or hurts that. i'm tired i'm very tired. for 4 months i've been losing blood. i never get better treatment. i'm so tired for months i've been going to the medical center but i just don't get better treatment. here in new zealand she finally feels safe but she's plagued with fears about her future her neighbor as shares her concerns. so tell me how are you doing these days not well. i feel like i have no future. i've suffered so much. of that.
8:24 am
was anything but i want my children to go to school and learn something. so that they don't end up illiterate like me. many migrants still come through i get us on their way to libya no one knows exactly how many at its peak some 330000 people a year crossed through august the town has long been a stopping place for people from west africa our route to find work in libya or why delia the city profited from their presence but that came to an end in 2015 when north with migration was officially halted the european union agreed to pay over a 1000000000 years in aid in exchange for new clothes and the border with its neighbors to the north development aid as payback for stopping migrants trying to make their way to europe a deal nobody would admit to officially but this deal like it does main source of income disappeared stores like this no longer have many customers. he has been
8:25 am
affected by the border closure too he calls himself up there as a people smuggler since 2015 has job has become a criminal offense so he won't risk showing his face he says the journey has also become more dangerous for migrants drivers must take more remote routes and of a military patrol approaches they are just drop off the migrants in the desert and many die of thirst. like to the world. more people are dying in the sahara than before and you don't know where they are so here is huge so you find them 3 or 6 months after they die. or morals. abdel-aziz also knows about the torture chambers often migrants 1st stop in libya he has his own reasoning why that is so that they are the migrants largely brought this upon themselves. he explains that if
8:26 am
refugees can't pay for their trip through the desert the drivers sell them to torture us mainly members of criminal gangs or militias he says after all his drivers have to make ends meet. or unless i get the burning water because if they say i spent money on your behalf i want to get it back and turn a profit on the war like that's why they started torturing people. for him there's no room for compassion business as business. is because if it didn't help migrants. to put up with that i do this to earn a living i wouldn't do anything that's against the law to help them and. many refugees are aware of the dangers but they won't let that deter them to find out why we make our way to one of the so-called to get us on the outskirts of. here
8:27 am
people smugglers hide migrants away until they are enough of them to turn a profit each passenger must pay around $500.00 us dollars for the trip through the sahara the wrong ones. he is one of them he's already set off 3 times but each time he was picked up by the military at the libyan border. now did you sort of know the route through the desert is not could there be no problem in libya and the mediterranean aren't good either. but what else should i do when you have no other option you must have a clear goal and it that we need and the goal for everyone here is europe there's no question about that as a good man also man has little chance of being granted the right to stay in europe but that won't stop him. you know the europe wants to close the border. and we the young africans of the 21st century are fed up with europe. or now modern day lit up i'm going to report on even though i want to go to europe i hate europe were
