Libyan Refugee Camps. Slavery & Desperation

00:36:53. Meron Estefanos reports on slavery and internment camps in Libya with a special focus on Eritrean refugees. Fleeing persecution oppression and conflict, refugees from Africa and Asia find themselves confined in horrific conditions in Libyan internment camps and sometimes sold as slaves. In the camps human rights and sexual abuse is rampant and life beyond the camps often results in the hazards of a Mediterranean sea journey or the loss of freedom in North Africa. Estefanos brings her own experience and work as a journalist to make authentic voices to a broader audience.
