corsair cyst so no more happy for that and also levy is why are you. at the top putting one in the back when those will fly and go top of the table an ominous development for the rest of the division. they're watching d.w. news coming. up next survivors call it hell on earth refugees locked up in libyan prisons kept under inhuman conditions a reporter has that story coming up next thanks for watching. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language but the 1st word published in the. new coke is in germany to learn german and why not with him simple line on your mobile and free up the d.w.p. learning course you can speak german made him see. that.

and i'm just a little brother can you believe the bottom of. this device it's about topics that affect us all solution line a straight return. police check out. in libya over 5000 refugees are languishing in detention centers in inhumane conditions hundreds of people at crandon together they're hungry have no clean drinking water and many are reports of human trafficking torture and random shootings are common. he said. you're

a slave you black brown. linen and they even walk us up in the middle of the night to torture us when one of the. german diplomats talk about serious human rights abuses so what exactly is going on there and why. our journalist reports from neighboring easier which has taken him 3000 refugees from camps in libya. thank you. thank. you thank you for. these images show the conditions in the libyan jails they were taken by refugees in different detention centers human rights activists describe the mistrust was so messaging services reestablished direct contact with 2 refugees who've been trapped in a libyan detention center for 2 years their voice messages reveal their plight the fault of their voices to protect their identities. we've been tortured where

terrifies were suffering and dying from different kinds of diseases. we were kidnapped we were victims of violence we're starving people have died our life is disgusting so we're appealing for our voices to be heard in the world we are innocent refugees living in the land of hell i. work to learn more and meet the people who went through the cell we decide to travel to new share this country has taken in almost 3000 refugees from neighboring libya. one of them is an 18 year old woman we'll call amina she comes from somalia while trying to flee from the civil war there she was abducted and brought to a torture chamber in the libyan desert i mean his abductors demanded $8000.00 u.s. dollars for her release. to up the pressure i mean i was tortured while their

parents were forced to listen on the phone. and told you the rituals of the leaders of the late changed me up hung me up and tortured me with electric shocks hated it . 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 as apostle for. the torture systematic the methods she describes accounts for many other refugees after year and a half i mean i managed to escape as she tried to cross the mediterranean she was picked up by the libyan coast guard and forced into a government run detention center. to live in the detention centers is 100 percent worse we. love it shown that while there was not enough food. once every 2 days we were given a small portion of pastor dry bread and

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 menas 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 asunder morally is the united c.r.'s representative here in new cher 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 of 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. thank you everybody should feel

responsible to make these 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 seen it do i get here some 1600 refugees all rescued from libya live in this un run camp it's a tent city in the desert. here we made it to him from sudan that's what he wants to be called for security reasons he tells us he was stone in jail and then sold into slavery and then there were. people came and brought 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. or not anybody said you were a slave be

a black man and even woke us up in the middle of the night to torture us. and we show him videos secretly recorded by refugees they remind him of his own experiences. on the run 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. maybe i'm from sudan was abducted in broad daylight. so that they give us a good and i went out to go to a shop 3 men grabbed me and forced me into a car. they raped me right there on the street and just threw me out onto the road

. to this day whoa once haven't healed she says the doctor just did so sedatives nothing that really helps. or hurts. i'm tired i'm very tired. for 4 months i've been losing blood. i never get better treatment. i was so tired for months i've been going to the medical center but i just don't get better treatment. here in new jersey finally feel safe but she's plagued with fears about her future her neighbor as chester concerned what has been her living 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.

was a little but i want my children to go to school and learn something. so that they don't end up illiterate like me what. many migrants still come through i get to this 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 do you me or 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 closing 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 with this deal added his main source of income disappeared stores like this no longer have many customers. he has been

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 you 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 there just drop off the migrants in the desert and flee many die of thirst. 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 so why do you have these 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. the migrants largely brought this upon themselves. he

explains that if 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 booming i want to sleep and they say i spent money on your behalf i want to get it back and turn a profit while i can go that's why they started torturing people. for him there's no room for compassion business as business. is because if we didn't help migrants. suppose that we're going to do this to earn a living i wouldn't do anything that's against the law to help them along with. many refugees i wear off the dangerous but they won't let that deter them to find out why we make our way to one of the so-called to get tossed on the outskirts of i

could us here people smugglers hide migrants away until they are enough of them to turn a profit each passenger must pay around $500.00 u.s. dollars for the trip through the sahara with 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 as man has little chance of being granted the right to stay in europe but that won't stop him i see no hope of the euro that 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 we question that that's why because these days europe couldn't survive without africa for good reason africa is rich in diamonds and uranium or new premier produce here is the biggest uranium producer where you and your we pity it's children if you've been here my country good neighbor is one of the biggest producers of bauxite after australia and it's going to. operated with that only if i study geology and i know that the who profits from it make. the persona it makes me angry it makes me sick at heart when i see there's a new phobia the masquerade you know for me what is europe doing to us. gets screwed up and with. the anger and despair here but so is the hope for a better life. no
