Italy arrests three foreigners responsible for migrants’ torture in Libya
Prosecutors in Sicily ordered the arrests of two Egyptians and one Guinean after several people identified them as their suspected tormentors.
The three allegedly ran a migrant camp at a former military base in Al-Zawiya, Libya.
“I have been beaten several times. I suffered real torture that left scars on my body,” one migrant told prosecutors.
Others say women were raped and migrants who could not pay a ransom were killed or sold to human traffickers.
