During the dawn, the auctioneer repeatedly said, this boy is "robust for the job of eating food." Who is interested to take.
This scene is Libya. Someone has kept it on mobile. After watching the CNN video in the investigation. A CNN team with secret cameras found out in Tripoli outside the capital last month, 12 people were taken for the auction. They were sold within 6 to 7 minutes. The seller repeatedly said, 'Do anyone need to dig? That he is a robust digger What price do I say? '
The seller called 500, 550, 600, 650 .... Buyers began to raise their hands according to their capability. Within a few minutes these helpless people became the servants of the new master.
Each year, thousands of migratory dreams from different countries of Africa enter the Libyan border to Europe. They leave their country in hopes of survival from war or economic fortunes. The sea coast of Libya is to cross the Mediterranean Sea. Many of them have been able to fly to and from the market by selling their own voyages.
Many of them have . Many others are also hostage. Many were sold or exchanged for the huge amount of ransom.
But recently the Coast Guard kept a strict surveillance on the coast of Libya. In this coastal boat, the boat is not able to ride. So many people are now hostage in the hands of traffickers. In this opportunity, these human traffickers are becoming enslaved. And immigrants are becoming slaves.
Since 2011 Libya's President Muammar Gaddafi was ousted and killed, the rule of law in the country was not established.
It's always a mess. Armsmen are constantly fighting against land and property grabbing. The human trafficking cycle has become quite active in this scope.
CNN talks with two slaves. Then they were completely upset. They were very scared. The one who was going to talk to them, they thought that this feeling would be sold again.
CNN has handed over this video to the Libyan authorities, holding their secret cameras. They promised to investigate the incident.
Tripoli first le. Nasser Hajam Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency told CNN that although he did not see the sale of a slave in his own eyes, he knew that a group organized around the country was trafficking.
An immigrant from Senegal has been sold in Sabah, a city in Libya's southern city. He told the BBC, the smugglers hosted these immigrants as hostages. Then they called the family and pressed them to send money. When they talked to the family on the phone, the traffickers beat them from behind. They did this to hear the sound of their crying on the phone. They had to go through very dire circumstances. They were given a little food. Those who could not pay the ransom were killed; Or do not leave hunger to die.
A fortunate person who survived the ransom from this situation told al-Jazeera, it took nine months to raise the ransom money. After that he was admitted to the hospital. Because of malnutrition, its weight was reduced to 35 kg. He said that women could not be exempt from human trafficking in Libya. They were bought and forced to go home.
Mohammad Abidakar, director of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Operation and Emergency-Affairs, said the situation is very scary. In a statement after returning from Tripoli in April, he said that some reports are really terrible. And lastly, this report of 'Das Bazar' has made the list of persecution of the immigrants even longer.
This auctioneer is sitting in the common cities of Libya. It is not that there is another kind of social life. And like ten cities, people are also working regularly, children are playing in the streets, eating and eating, chatting with friends. But the sale of slaves takes place in the past, when at one time the slaves were sold publicly in the market. The difference is that this 'Das' hand and foot are not tied in the chain.
Aenez Aljabi, a shelter supervisor of Migrants in Tripoli He said he heard many cases of trafficking victims being tortured by immigrants. They were beatified, chapped, even crippled. He said, money is meant to smugglers. Migrants could not reach Europe or die in the sea, they do not care about it.
In the hope of going to Europe, dreams of many immigrants left the country on the North African route. As an IOM, in the last three years, half a million people went to Europe in this way. But this year more than 8,800 people returned to their own country in the management of IOM.
A young man named Victory, who was staying in the shelter, said he was sold at the auction. The 21-year-old young man left home because of the horrors of corruption in the state of Edo in Nigeria. Then 1 year 4 months have passed. All the money left with you are gone. He tried to go to Europe. When money runs out, Victor sells it as a laborer. Say, the money will come from here, due to which a lot will be paid. But after a few weeks, it was said that the money that was sold by him was not enough. Then he was sent back to the previous trafficker. In this way he has been sold many times, and has come back again.
Victory told CNN, "I've spent millions of Naira (Nigerian coin). My mother went to two villages to save my life and got money from different mediums. '
To talk, Victorie comes around the neck. Said, 'My friends could go to Europe. But I'm returning empty handed. Yet, thanks to God, they could go. I have a lot of trouble. Going back, I have to start from the beginning again. '
