Italian Police Arrest Three Over Trafficking Of Migrants.
Italian police arrested three people Monday accused of the kidnap, torture and trafficking of migrants hoping to set sail from Libya to Europe.
The arrested men had crossed the Mediterranean themselves, landing in Lampedusa before being transferred to Sicily. They had also been refused water or medical attention for their wounds or for diseases contracted in the camp, they said. “All the women who were with us… were systematically and repeatedly raped,” one witness was quoted as saying.
Some migrants died of hunger, according to another cited witness, who described seeing a jailer “shoot a Nigerian in the legs for having taken a piece of bread”.
