10:46 am
terrifies we're suffering 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 are appealing for our voices to be heard in the world we are going to send refugees living in the land of hell i. are to learn more and meet the people who went through the cell we decide to travel to me 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 as the doctors demanded $8000.00 u.s. dollars for her release to. up the pressure i mean i was tortured while her parents
10:47 am
were forced to listen on the phone. you know you got the choice of leave us alone late changed me up hung 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 as apostle for. the torture systematic the methods she describes accounts for many other refugees after a 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. while life in the detention center is 100 percent worse we. love that child that well there was not enough food. once every 2 days we were given a small portion of pastor dry bread and
10:48 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 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. really 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 at every. body should feel responsible
10:49 am
to make 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 seen it why did you want 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 if that's what he wants to be called for security reasons he tells us he was thrown in jail and then sold into slavery and then there were the. people came and bought us like slaves. and they said we will let you we're going to get money for it. but in the end we didn't get any money. or not anybody said you're
10:50 am
a slave the black man and even more because 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. matty i'm from sudan was abducted in broad daylight. to give us a look at when 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
10:51 am
. to this day whoa ones haven't healed she says the doctor just did so sedatives nothing that really helps. or hurts. tired i'm very tired. for 4 months i've been losing blood. i'll never get better treatment. i was so tired that 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 and 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. was
10:52 am
a little bit i want my children to go to school and learn something. so that they don't end up illiterate like me what. kind of. 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 idea 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 but this deal agathis main source of income disappeared stores like this no longer have many customers. he has been affected by
10:53 am
the border closure too he calls himself up there as he's a people smuggler since 2015 his 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 there just drop off the migrants in the desert and flee many die of thirst. like to the world. more people are dying in the sahara than before you don't know where they are so here is huge so you find them 3 or 6 months after they die. why do you have these like 4 more years. after lizzie's 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
10:54 am
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 bullet and walk with me they say i spent money on your behalf i want to get it back and turn a profit or like that's why they started torturing people. for him there's no room for compassion business as business. is because if we didn't do i hope 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. 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 tolls on the outskirts of us here people
10:55 am
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. month buddy 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. with. a lot of good desert and up on 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. nope v europe wants to close the border here and we the young africans of the 21st century are fed up with europe. or not modern day lit up one great report on even though i want to go to europe i hate europe would
10:56 am
question that that's why i hope so because these days europe couldn't survive without africa if it went off for good reason africa is rich in diamonds and uranium or new premier produce here is the biggest uranium producer for you and yet we pity its children and if you've been to my country good neo is one of the biggest producers of bauxite after australia and it's going in there. but i would if i started geology and i know that. but who profits from it. q. 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. the anger and despair. but so is the hope for a better life. for
