SOS Libya: Refugees in the Horn of Africa subjected to untold suffering

The plight of refugees in sub-Saharan Africa, and

other such grave silence of the European community, the face of continued
complaints of abuses and violations of fundamental rights, to the detriment
of asylum seekers and refugees, which
Europe does not want , let the dirty work, others do. Two years after the
"revolution" we contacted 2.352 deaths in 2011, in 2012 hundreds of other
deaths in the Mediterranean, not to mention, all those who die in the
desert, in prisons and detention centers, and the lives of those who survive
in the 22 detention centers, prisons and other so Libyans, this is hell, to
mention a few as an example: -

Ala
Lamayr: 
- there are about 200 people, originally from Eritrea and
Ethiopia, this center should be managed by "Red Crescent", however it seems
that the head of the center was a Libyan intelligence agent, with armed men
who do what they want, ill-treatment and abuse of all kinds, guests live in
fear, are now being threatened by armed men, to the end of the Somalis sent
to Sebha, accused of sick people, not like in the country. With a real
danger of being deported to the country of origin, where they fled to
seek refuge.

Ghanfuda: - 20
Eritreans, Ethiopians 10, from 7:00 to 8:00 months without any judgment,
without being able to see any of humanitarian organizations, says the boy
interviewed by us, "we are treated worse than animals, we're closed for days
without being able to see the light the sun, here we only see Libyan
soldiers, no one cares about us, treated like criminals, without having
committed any crime, help us to regain our dignity and freedom. Here we were
with the Somalis, they've taken away, first in Ala Lamayr, yesterday all
Somalis were taken away even from this last town to an unknown destination.
"

Hums: - dozens of refugees
and displaced Eritreans, Ethiopians and Somalis, captive, abused men, women
and children live in fear every day. In this detention center near Tripoli,
where they are brought hundreds of refugees and migrant workers, crammed
into dirty rooms without adequate ventilation, dozens of people in inhumane
conditions. The women have the worst are often victims of violence and
sexual abuse, there are cases and detailed records, which clarify the
serious violations of human and civil rights taking place in these centers
detenzione.Qualche months ago, a girl from Eritrea, was raped by a group of
soldiers on guard, then was thrown out of the detention center, unconscious,
bleeding, unless by some miracle, after a known past covered with sand, in
the morning through a Libyan woman became aware, listening to complaints of
pain, she approached, the ride into town, where he could find compatriots
who have called a Catholic nun, made the cure in the hospital. People
live in fear, the military especially in the evening, have fun with crap
weapons, the rooms that house the refugees, they are often drunk, they take
one at random among the refugees, for no reason, is the beating, so have
fun the military, when in rare cases, we visit the UNHCR and other NGOs,
the military hides all weapons, including tasers, they often use for their
enjoyment and to make sexual abuse of women.

Kuhefia: - Hundreds of people detained two
of which are special cases, two women, one of them pregnant, the barking
woman was pregnant at the fourth month, but when the gunmen, they have
beaten in Ala Lamayr, for a day and a note was hung on an iron axis, lost
the baby she was carrying, he lost a lot of blood, but it's not even been
taken to hospital, the head of the militia saw what happened, he preferred
to hide each other, closing the woman inside a container, and then transfer
the woman and her husband from the center of the "host" of Ala Lamayr run by
the Red Crescent, which has become a center of illegal detention, where did
this beating in prison Kuhefia near the city of Benghazi.

Sebha: - One hundred and ten Somali
Eritreans were forcibly deported from the center of Ala Lamayr in a
detention center in Sebha, where they were stripped naked, stripped of
everything of value they brought with them, including phones, Libyan TV last
night spoke of them as sick people, the country is expelled from its
territory, the danger that these people are abandoned to the south in the
Libyan desert, risking to die of hunger and thirst.

All this
suffering inflicted on these people, in the name and to protect the Fortress
Europe, a Europe that has sought protection of its coastline, the "invasion"
of refugees and migrants. Agreements between European countries with the
riparian countries to the south of the Mediterranean, on immigration, has
shown its worst face in Libya, since the time of the previous regime, now
fallen, but the regime has changed, but not the practice of ill-treatment ,
abuse, violence,
torture for the purpose of entertainment of armed men, refugees used as
free labor, ie "slaves," says the market for mercenaries, who pays can be
released from detention, but in a few weeks, he finds himself locked up in
other centers, where will suffer inhuman living conditions. In all this, the
European Community has a huge responsibility, has on his "conscience" the
many who died under torture, abuse and violence, and all the human rights
violations that occur on the skin of these
poor, in need of protection,
it is the responsibility also the European Union, because all of this is the
result of externalization of European borders, to protect the Fortress
Europe, we prefer to close their eyes and ears, not to see and not to hear
the desperate cries, women raped by policemen and militiamen Libyans, in
many centers and Libyan jails, which also receive funding from European
countries. The European complicity in all of this is in his silence, were
presented detailed reports on the serious situation of asylum seekers and
refugees in Libya, the bilateral agreements of certain European countries
more or less facts in the light of the sun, while others have remained under
the table, have caused much suffering and death to thousands of PEOPLE, and
continue to claim victims.
We ask that the European Parliament to take
into serious consideration the serious situation of detention and Libyan
prisons, where they are imprisoned, hundreds of refugees and displaced
persons in sub-Saharan Africa, and the many violations and abuses they
committed, L ' Europe to intervene, ask the Libyan regime, respect for human
rights of these people, the role of UNHCR should be strengthened. The
European community offers a solution to the refugees in need of
international protection, using the tool of re settlement program, or giving
the chance that you may submit a request for asylum in embassies, for those
who are the
most exposed to the dangers of war and feuds, are evacuated to safe places
and protected.
