Somali migrants held captive in Libya rescued
[ShabelleMedia] At least 107 migrants colonists, including women and kiddies, have been released from a town in southeastern Libya, according to a front man for the Libyan army.

Walid Alorafi, the front man for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Benghazi, said that the migrants colonists were held for seven months as they tried to go to Europe.

The migrants colonists came from different countries in sub-Saharan Africa, but most of them came from Somalia according to Alorafi.

"Last night we attacked a place where they were hiding in the center of Kufra city, and we found illegal migrants colonists including women, children, and old men, some of whom showed signs of torture and gunshots," said Alorafi.

The migrants colonists were all handed over to the IOM’s illegal migration agency.

The CID released videos showing their forces destroying the house where the migrants colonists were staying. Among the other videos, shots were fired at migrants colonists whose bodies show signs of torture.

Some of the migrants colonists were seen being taken away in an ambulance with aid workers. The health condition of some migrants colonists is very poor, according to Alorafi.
