The Scandal of a Slave Market in Libya

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article investigates the resurgence of slavery in Libya following the country's civil unrest and the collapse of state institutions. It exposes the horrifying reality of slave markets where African migrants and refugees are sold, often into forced labor or exploitation. Drawing on reports from survivors, NGOs, and media outlets, the article highlights how smuggling networks, militias, and weak law enforcement contribute to the problem. It also critiques the international community’s inadequate response and calls for stronger protective mechanisms, legal accountability, and humanitarian support. Published by the Human Rights Research Center, this piece raises urgent ethical and human rights concerns.
