In mid September, I was sitting next to the journalist |
|
Sally Hayden while attending a press briefing near the |
|
United Nations when phone started buzzing with WhatsApp |
|
messages. Refugees and migrants stranded in a prison in |
|
Libya had gotten her number and were sending her messages |
|
describing awful details of their confinement. These |
|
refugees were stranded in prison because of a deal worked |
|
out between the Libyan Coast Guard and Italian |
|
government. Thousands of refugees and migrants, mostly |
|
from Eastern and Sub-saharan Africa, are languishing |
|
indefinitely in confinement in Libya after having been |
|
captured by Libyan coast guard units as they tried to |
|
make their way to Italy. This has resulted in an ongoing |
|
human rights catastrophe as prisoners are left alone in |
|
jail cells, often without food or water. As Sally Hayden |
|
explains, this has resulted in an unbelievably awful |
|
human rights calamity that is not getting the attention |
|
it deserves. In this episode, Sally Hayden explains this |
|
unfolding crisis. |
