Libya frees 200 migrants from secret prison

Libyan security authorities recently freed over 200 migrants who were being held captive in a secret underground prison in the town of Kufra.

These migrants, mostly from countries like Somalia and Eritrea, had been kept in very bad conditions for up to two years.

The prison was nearly three meters deep and was run by a human trafficker.

This is one of the worst crimes against humanity found in the region.

Libya has become a common route for migrants trying to reach Europe, but many face abuse and danger along the way.

Recently, authorities also found a mass grave with at least 21 bodies and signs of torture on survivors.

Last year, 39 bodies were found in similar mass graves in the same area.
