Slaves in Tripoli
Yannick's testimony

We are in the dark. I don't know where we are anymore. So I start to be afraid. We spent the night in another house. The next day when I wake up, they are not the same people. I learned later that they were Libyans. In prison, I was tortured a lot. I was made to understand that I was sold as a slave in Libya. Every morning we were taken to the trucks to work. And among all these people there was always another young person, to whom I became attached. I walked with him, he became my companion. That's when we took the opportunity to escape. We were running away without knowing where we were going. There are some young people who were shot by the Libyans. We were hungry. Someone who is lying on the ground, who is dead, who has food on him. I can't forget that moment. We moved on, we slept on the way, we begged for food.
He knew how to get out of there. You have to go to a city where Libyans send young people, people for Italy. One evening, we managed to infiltrate the group of people that the Libyans had put in the so-called zodiac. At that moment I don't know how I managed to get to Italy. Because I lost consciousness on the way. I woke up in the boat that rescues migrants at sea.
