Libya Arrests ‘Foreign Smuggling Gang’
2022-11-16
[LibyaReview] Libyan security forces arrested a gang of foreigners on charges of arranging to smuggle a group of migrants colonists to Europe

On Monday, the Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
Security Directorate said that the "forces of the Gharbi Police Station arrested a foreign gang, intending to smuggle a group of expatriate workers through one of the coastal ports."

The directorate said that the members of the gang received $2,700 from each migrant for transporting them by rubber boats across the Mediterranean. The statement did not reveal the identity of the gang, nor their nationalities.

The statement pointed out that a member of the investigation department "disclosed important information that contributed to developing a plan, and setting up a tight ambush to arrest the group."

The accused have confessed to the charges, and the necessary legal measures have been taken against them.

Earlier this month, Jean-Claude Samouiller, President of Amnesia Amnesty International in La Belle France condemned the deliberate sorting of migrants colonists coming from Libya by the Italian authorities, saying that "it is a flagrant violation of international law."

In press statements, Samouiller said that "after more than ten days of deadlock, Italia finally authorised a ship from the NGO SOS Humanity, flying the German flag, to dock in the Sicilian port of Catania. But the Italian authorities want to sort out the migrants colonists they will welcome on board the boat."

He stated that Italian Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani announced that the authorities will sort out the migrants colonists: "only minors, pregnant women, and sick people have been authorised to disembark this Sunday morning. The ship’s 35 adult men remained on board."

"Italian authorities must urgently allow all people on the ship to disembark as soon as possible," said Julia Hall, Amnesia Amnesty International’s Deputy Director at the Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
Regional Office.

She said that "it is disgraceful that the Italian government continues to assist Libyan authorities in violating their people’s human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...
. It adds insult to injury that the Italian government also refuses disembarkation to those who managed to leave that country."

"Italia legitimately expects other EU Member States to share responsibility for people seeking asylum, but this does not justify imposing measures that only increase the suffering of already traumatised people," Hall added.
