A mass grave containing the remains of 21 African migrants has reportedly been uncovered in eastern Libya.
According to a report by DWAfrica citing local media, the Ajdabiya branch of the Internal Security Agency disclosed that security operatives raided a farm belonging to a Libyan human smuggler, where migrants were allegedly held for ransom under inhumane conditions, with some bearing gunshot wounds.
Authorities said the smuggler killed the migrants after their families failed to pay the demanded ransom, according to the reports.
The suspect is currently in police custody and is awaiting trial, while local residents and activists have reportedly called for the death penalty.
