Boys forced to rape their sisters, women sexually assaulted until they bleed to death and men’s genitals cut off: Survivors reveal ‘unbelievable’ horrors faced by refugees in Libya

• Migrants are facing sexual violence and torture in prisons and refugee camps
• On their way to Europe refugees are being kidnapped and raped, a report found
• Women are raped until they bleed to death. Men have had genitals cut off
• Refugees are stripped naked and forced to rape relatives while being filmed

By Chris Dyer for Mail Online and AP, 27 March 2019

Migrants travelling to Europe are being raped and tortured including by forced incest and mutilation, a shocking new study has revealed.
Routine rape and sexual torture throughout their journey to Europe threatens many migrants, especially in Libya, with men facing abuse nearly as regularly as women.
Smugglers torture migrants and film the attacks on Skype to extract ransom money from their families, according to the study carried out by the Women’s Refugee Commission.
One mental health worker described graves filled with men with their penises sliced off – a description corroborated by the account of a survivor of a mass mutilation.
Migrants told similarly horrific stories about rape, forced incest and mass sexual abuse intended to humiliate detainees who had to strip naked and become either rapists themselves or victims.
Men and women are forced to rape others, penises are cut off, boys have to rape their sisters and women are abused and raped until they bleed to death, the report said.

A survivor from Gambia said, according to the report: ‘If someone had told me this before, I would never have believed it. You can only believe it if you have seen it with your own eyes.’
At one of the official prisons, a 19-year-old Nigerian woman told a health worker that women faced near constant threat of rape, and men only marginally less.

Migrants bribe their way to freedom or escape if they can.

According to a 20-year-old man from Guinea, ‘when the men came back crying, they would talk about what the guards did to them and how violent it was’.

Sarah Chynoweth, the study’s lead researcher told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle: ‘On their journey through the desert, many refugees are kidnapped by human traffickers and armed groups or taken to official prisons.
‘If a man tries to escape, all other men are forced to rape him. People are regularly punished, forced into submission and controlled.’

Migrants who were either rescued from the Mediterranean Sea or prevented from crossing to Europe by Libyan coast guards rest at a detention centre in Zawiyah
Previous studies have found that nearly all women who cross from North Africa have been raped or sexually abused along the journey, but this report found that the danger was likely nearly as prevalent among men.
The graphic study based on dozens of interviews with aid workers and migrants was released on Monday by the Women’s Refugee Commission.

It comes as Europe has blocked rescues at sea and outsourced its migration policy to Libya’s coast guard instead.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates there are around 670,000 migrants in Libya and it is believed that between 5,000 to 6,000 are being held in camps.

The EU has spent €338 million ($382 million) in Libya since 2014 to stem migration, much of it on strengthening the Libyan coast guard and the detention centres.

Migrants turned back in the Mediterranean are unlikely to fare much better in official detention than they did in the warehouses, according to Chynoweth.

United Nations staff and aid groups have limited access to the centres and Chynoweth said migrants told her than in any case ‘we were just too terrified to say anything’.

Some of the 340 illegal migrants who were rescued by the Libyan navy off the coast of the western town of Sabratha when their boat began to take on water, sit at a shelter in 2014

With European Union funding, the Libyan coast guard retrieves migrants from the Mediterranean Sea and returns them to detention centres nominally run by the Libyan government, where migrants say the abuse resumes.

Because the men were victimised together, they were willing to talk about it in ways that might otherwise be taboo. Mostly, they don’t talk about it.Last May, more than 100 migrants and refugees broke out from one of the lockups, fleeing under their captors’ gunfire.

At least 15 people died and 40 were left behind, according to the aid group Doctors Without Borders. The survivors were ultimately shipped to an official Libyan detention centre.

And now official detention is likely where they will end up even if they make it into the Mediterranean, due to European policy that has effectively banned rescues at sea in an effort to slow migration.
Chynoweth has carried out similar studies among the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and Syrian refugees in the Middle East.

What differs in the European context, she said, is how widespread it is, and the fact that profoundly disturbing forms of sexual torture are used for purposes of extorting ransoms – sent via video to desperate families.
‘The minute people are stopped at sea, Europeans wash their hands of it,’ said Hassiba Hadj-Sahraoui, the humanitarian affairs adviser for Doctors Without Borders, also known as Medecins Sans Frontieres.
Earlier this month, the European Union issued a statement saying the continent’s migration crisis is over, ‘and current levels are a mere 10 per cent of what they were at their peak in 2015’.
The statement cited ‘appalling conditions’ in Libya’s detention centres as an issue, without suggesting solutions.

One of the study’s few bright points came aboard the MSF rescue ship Aquarius. On the ship, the medical team realised that men and boys appeared not to know that what they’d experienced was sexual abuse.
Trained health workers decided in 2018 to emphasise free medical and psychological counselling.

As a result, the study said, 33 per cent of sexual assault survivors who came forward last year on the Aquarius were male, compared with just three per cent in 2017.

‘It was about creating that safe environment, allowing the men and boys to know they’re not alone,’ said Aoife Ni Mhurchu, who was a nurse on board the Aquarius at the time and specialises in working with vulnerable populations.

Few migrants had any illusions that their attackers would face justice, said Ni Mhurchu, who worked in four detention centres in Libya before her time at sea.

She said few detained in Libya would dare come forward while there.

‘This climate of impunity in Libya signals to this extremely vulnerable population that reporting is not only dangerous but futile,’ she said.

The Aquarius is now chartered for a scientific expedition. The only people pulling migrants from the Mediterranean waters off the Libyan coast take them right back where they came from.

It’s a throwback to pre-civilisation. I’m not saying I’m not sorry for the victims, I am and any right minded person would be, but we really can’t distinguish between the victims and the abusers if they get to our shores seeking refuge. Africa needs to sort itself out, it’s claiming itself to be up-and-coming, so prove it.

According to articles/programs I’ve seen, it seems the people in the up-&-coming cities of Africa are becoming rather well to do & no longer want this in their countries either. They either don’t yet have or don’t want to create welfare states to support them as they have seen how welfare destroys people’s incentive to work/care for themselves.

This report is framed and pictured to engender sympathy for those illegal economic migrants, remember the Marrakesh agreement has been signed and Italy under minister Salvini is being “uncooperative”, so this whole thing REEKS of a joint Soros / UN / EU fake news story to bully public opinion in Italy into opening its borders at this time, the start of the Med crossing season.

Whether the tale is true or not is not the point, the point is if those Africans were not in Libya, they would be at home mending the countries they mucked up and fled from – instead of fighting to be next to “whitey” who they will then accuse of being “racists” if they ever make it to Italy.

NO cash aid, NO medicine, NO admittance and NO sympathy, they just don’t deserve it.

Absolutely right.

If they have the energy to “migrate” then they have the energy to change their country.
In the U.K. and the U.S. we are still fighting the fight. There is no reason why they can’t do the same in their country. Exploiting people’s compassion to be subsidized is wrong. It’s long over due they developed some dignity and backbone and changed their country.

You’ve probably hit the nail on the head regarding this report, but meanwhile someone should send it to the idiotic Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, so she can see what ‘supporting your Muslim community’ can bring to a country. All the thousands of non-Muslims murdered by Muslims, be it 9/11 – almost 3,000, the London bombings – 52, Mumbai 172, Paris 132, Nice 87, Nairobi 71, Boston, San Bernardino, Orlanda, New York cyclists, etc., etc., and all that dope can think of are the 50 Muslims murdered in Christchurch as if it was the worst atrocity on earth. Already Muslims in New Zealand are exploiting the massacre – and it’s Mossad and Jews to blame. How about retaliation to Muslim savagery?

The EU is funding the Muhammadists & we have the same pattern with Trump dealing with & arming the abusers while the victims get tortured, mass-murdered & locked up.
Trump sold weapons to the Muhammadist mass-murder backing regime of Nigeria & to Saudi Arabia.
Today Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed in Saudi Arabia & enslaved in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, Iraq, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks (see Wikiislam).

Interesting article that talks about victims never once mentioning the cause or the groups doing the molesting. Perhaps the Daily Mail is protecting them?

As i read more and more a patern is emerging as to why there is an attack on the so called white supremacists. Plus attacks on the collonial past of the British and the Boers. But what becomes apparent is that the countries that were under British rule prospered.
India has a railway network and an education system that taught English to enable all language groups to do business.
Zimbabwe was the fruit and veg capitol of the world.
The whites move out and nothing but chaos, destruction and poverty ensue.
I would sugest we need to go back to running these country’s again to teach the people how to work along side us as the Boers did in Zimbabwe.
Once we have passed our skills on to them then maybe there is hope.
Because there is no hope constantly diluting a successfull country with people who do not share the same moral code or religion and have no intention of assimilating with the indigenous people. The only assimilation is with the country’s benefit system and NHS.

Absolutely, but don’t forget they were puppets, willing puppets, not the masterminds. The emails between Lady Rothschild and HRC were pathetic. Clinton grovelled before her and likely was the go-between with Barry. They orchestrated the whole migrant bomb for the sake of their globalist agenda.

America’s governments also hide local atrocities of muslim savages from the general public, and has even started using Europe’s slight of hand of referring to muslim attackers as ‘Asian’.

AfricanMuslim-on-AfricanMuslim torture is not even a blip on the world’s radar…certainly not in the Western media.
It doesn’t fit the self-hating White Leftist Globalists’ narrative of “WHITES–BAD…AFRICANS–GOOD.”
Western Civilization has to be eliminated because of all of it’s racism and past evil deeds like slavery. (Ignore the history of Arab Muslim slavery and torture and forced conversion of Africans to Islam who then enslaved their fellow Africans).
If only Arab Muslims had not invaded Christian North Africa….
If only Obama-Hillary hadn’t killed Ghaddafi…I wonder if there would be mass African migrations into Libya.

The Libyan authorities use some of their oil and gas revenues to simply ship these people back to wherever they originated? They do not because their presence allows these parasites to extract more funds from the EU for maintaining these detention centers and preventing their crossing to Europe.
