»Evacuate
Human Rights Defenders
From Libya!«

MOBILE EXHIBITION

Mobile exhibition
by: Refugees in Libya & the Alliance with Refugees in Libya

The mobile Exhibition wants to highlight and give extensive recognition to the constant organization, protests and collective resistance of the Human Rights Defenders in Libya. It is part of the Human Rights Defender Evacuation Campaign which tries to evacuate Human Rights Defenders

from Libya to diverse European cities. Together they move to different European cities to gather evacuation possibilities and make the stories of the Human Rights Defenders visible.

Note: Most of the human rights defenders in this exposition are men. Refugee women also stand up and defend their rights. However, they face specific, gendered risks that inhibit them from speaking out in public. Also, the vulnerability criteria used by UNHCR mean that they are more likely to get some form of protection.

Refugees in Libya →

The movement Refugees in Libya formed itself on 1st of october, 2021, during the protests in front of the UNHCR headquarter in Tripoli, Libya; after EU-supported militias known as the DCIM raided the homes of tens of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers in Gargaresh neighbourhood. At its core, Refugees in Libya is a self-organised group of refugees and asylum-seekers from more than 11 nationalities who demand the end of abuses and their right to safety and freedom. Refugees in Libya organised committees, negotiated with the UNHCR and other authorities and demonstrated for 100 days, until the protests were brutally dismantled and thousands of people brought to detention camps like Ain Zara. What is Refugees in Libya doing? Ever Since, Refugees in Libya kept documenting abuses, doing human rights work, making the situation visible on different levels, doing advocacy at the EU-level, speaking at the European Parliament, the European Commission, speaking to European politicians, and non-governmental international organisations. Activists from Refugees in Libya are still mostly in Libya, but a number of them managed to escape and reach safety to Europe, from where they keep fighting for their comrades. Networking, speaking at events, organising campaigns, supporting people on the move, organising fundraisers, running a 24/7 support hotline and many more. The movement Refugees in Libya managed to bring together Libyan and European civil societies, solidifying translocally and internationally. Even though the movement started in Libya, Refugees in Libya is now a network operating in many other places like Tunisia, Sudan, Niger, Rwanda and Europe. How can you join? If you are a refugee, asylum seeker or migrant in Libya, Tunisia or other north African countries, or if you passed through there during your journey, we invite you to join the movement and speak your truth. You can give testimony of your story, engage with fellow comrades and fight for your dignity and rights from Libya or from anywhere you are based. Depending on your security situation, you can either keep a low profile and keep your activism anonymous or speak out publicly to demand your rights and those of your comrades. Your voice counts, let’s make it heard! Reach out! info@refugeesinlibya.org

Human Rights Defender Evacuation Campaign →

In January 2024 a new campaign was presented for the first time in a common press conference in Bologna with the support of the city mayor Matteo Lepore. During a two days event the key-demand of the campaign was outlined and re-discussed together in several workshops with various human rights organizations: the immediate evacuation through legal and safe channels to Europe of the 221 Human Right Defenders, who were punished for their courage to advocate for the human rights of all the people on the move. The basic concepts and challenges of this transnational campaign are: • The overarching topic of the campaign has to acknowledge the resistance and protest activities of Refugees in Libya as human rights activity, and thus recognize them as legitimate Human Rights Defenders; • A broad alliance with at least ten supporting municipalities in various European countries will be built within the next months to promote and to amplify together the campaign with the aim to carry out and to assert concrete evacuations; • Each of these ten or more involved solidarity cities should be willing to welcome and to host 20 to 30 human rights defenders from Libya; • The demand for 221 evacuations is NOT an overwhelming number of people rather a feasible aim in order to open (more) small effective windows for safe passages; The campaign started in Italy and beside Bologna first contacts and informal negotiations took place in Rome and in Sicily. In Germany, institutional actors will be approached for discussions in the cities of Lübeck, Frankfurt/Main and maybe Munich. In Spain the campaign is in contact with actors of the city of Barcelona. Further ideas for initiatives are discussed in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Within the next months, the communication concerning the campaign will be intensified with institutional and civil society actors in the various regions based on this document. Interim reports will be collected and shared to all involved parties. Contact: info@refugeesinlibya.org alliancewithrefugeesinlibya@gmail.com

“We did something great, something really big because we shouted and shared our voices and different stories every single day. That’s something that really impresses me.” - Iskander How to resist under life-threatening conditions in Libya? How to organize? What empowers you? How can change happen? What is your message to the international community? Murad, Iskander and Zaza tell about hunger strikes, poisoning, loyalty, hidden documentation, mutual support and their current situation in Libya. They are united by their collective struggle for protection and freedom, but also by the severe reprisals they face for their human rights activism, which also seems to exclude them from current evacuation processes. The stories shown in the exhibition focus on the 100 days of protests in Tripoli, the eviction of the protests, the 18 months of imprisonment and forced labor in Ain Zara, the release of Ain Zara and the repression and responses to it. What happened before? In October, 2021, EU-supported militias attacked the homes of tens of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers in Gargaresh neighbourhood. Days later, more than 300 those who just lost their homes gathered in front of the UNHCR headquater in Tripoli to demand their rights. The movement “Refugees in Libya” was born. They organized a committee, sit-ins, meetings with authorities and journalists and organised mutual support. After 100 days of resistance, the protests were violently dispersed and Libyan militias imprisoned, tortured and enslaved the organizers. Current situation: Currently, Murad, Iskander and Zaza are still in Libya. Together with other comrades, Zaza is still visiting people in the camp in front of the UNHCR, to understand their stories, document their situations, and amplify their voices. They organize a seminar for teaching human rights. We work on an application for funds for this together and hope there will be soon evacuation possibilities.

The hotline was an idea that was born out of the necessity to provide solidarity, security and advocacy for those who were stranded across Libya. But today, after three years, this has become a lifeline to the thousands of people in the north african region. Stories are told, information is disseminated, and radical solidarity is carried out. These 150 stories are just an extract of stories that reach out to the hotline every day, since 2021. Behind every story is a person, a face, a daughter, a dream, a homeland, a person longing for security, safety and wellbeing. “Working on these stories brought me closer to these people, but left me questioning our moral duty towards one another in our society as well as the state›s legal obligation towards the person in need. My aim to bring you these stories is in the spirit that you take part and is an invitation to awaken our consciousness to what is happening beyond borders.” - David Yambio

Background Info →

On Libya Following the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in 2011, Libya has struggled to establish a unified government, leading to a power vacuum that has resulted in intermittent civil war, widespread violence and grave human rights abuses. Amidst this turmoil, Libya has also become a significant transit point for migrants and refugees escaping war, repression and poverty. Refugees and migrants in Libya face systematic arbitrary detention, sexual violence, torture and slavery, which could amount to crimes against humanity according to the UN. The refusal by European states to open legal and safe routes for refugees has left tenths of thousands of them trapped in Libya. Despite the widely documented abuses, the European Union and some of its member states have been supporting Libyan militias to prevent refugees from crossing the Mediterranean into Europe. Between 2018 and 2022, the EU has trained, coordinated and financially supported these militias with 71 million euros. First years: Sudan The conflict in Darfur, Sudan, stems from long-standing tensions over land, resources, and power between ethnic groups, primarily the Arab-dominated government and non-Arab rebel groups. It resulted in widespread human rights violations, including mass killings, displacement, sexual violence, and destruction of villages. The conflict has been characterized by ethnic cleansing and created millions of refugees and internally displaced people. The new civil war erupted in 2023 has exacerbated the situation for civilians in Sudan even further. Entering Libya Migration to Libya has been characterized by diverse flows, including economic migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees, seeking opportunities, safety, or transit to Europe. Libya›s geographical location makes it a key transit country for migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and beyond. However, the journey to and through Libya is perilous, marked by human trafficking, exploitation, and abuse at the hands of smugglers and armed groups. The country›s political instability and lack of effective governance exacerbate these dangers even further. Gargaresh The Gargaresh neighborhood in Tripoli serves as a microcosm of the complex challenges faced by migrants and refugees in the country. The conditions are often dire, with many of them living in overcrowded and makeshift accommodations, lacking access to basic services such as healthcare, education, and sanitation. Additionally, migrants and refugees in Gargaresh face discrimination, exploitation, and harassment from both locals and authorities. Protests The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Libya is tasked with protecting and assisting refugees, asylum seekers, and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the country, given the slack of support from Libyan authorities. However, their mandate remains largely unfulfilled, leaving many refugees in precarious and vulnerable situations, with little access to essential services and protection and without being transparent to the refugees they are supposed to help. This, combined with allegations of racism among UNHCR staff and their collaboration with murderous Libyan militias, made them the target of many refugee protests. Ain Zara The Ain Zara prison is a detention center for refugees managed by a militia linked to the Department for Combating Illegal Immigration (DCIM), one of the Libyan groups supported by EU funds. Ain Zara is infamous for its overcrowded and unsanitary conditions and for the torture and forced labor of their inmates.

What Now? ⤶

Zaza, Murad and Iskander and dozens of their comrades are still in Tripoli, keeping a low profile to avoid being captured again. The refusal of European states to grant any humanitarian visas is keeping them stranded in Libya, where they are clearly not safe. To counter this, Refugees in Libya has recently launched a campaign to recognize their role as human rights defenders and to evacuate them to safe cities in Europe. You can learn more about our campaign here: As Europeans we have a moral responsibility for the abuses funded with our taxes in Libya. If we want to see positive change in the world, those who are brave enough to defend human rights should be praised and protected, not tortured and imprisoned. The federal government could provide visas to allow these defenders to find shelter in Germany, whereas municipal authorities could support them in their integration process. Please, write to your mayor and ask him*/her to support the evacuation of human rights defenders from Libya! There are many things you can do. Take some postcards and take action!

Zaza

They wanted to silence us. But we said ›no‹. I remember the speech of Martin Luther King that says: »our life starts ending, when we become silent about what‘s important.« It [protests, community building, hunger-strike] is something that is different, I have never seen in my life. So even in 2003, there was a war in Sudan and we left. But things that I have seen here in Libya from CDC camp until Ain Zara, I have never seen it at all in my life. It’s my first time but I had experienced it and they are really, really catastrophic, too. What leads me to continue fighting and defending for my rights? So me as a skilled person, I’m sorry for describing myself as skilled, but as I speak different languages, I have to play my role for my people or for my colleagues or for my family who have been together since CDC camp until Ain Zara. I have to participate or I have to use all my skills and pass my message to the world, for example. There are many people who have some skills and they want to pass their messages to the world, but the problem of language stops them. But the fact that I speak four different languages - I have to play my role in order to pass a message. So I have to defend my right and the rights of my friends. If we don’t do this, no one is going to do it for us. That’s why I’m still doing it. Despite there are some dangers, but I believe that nothing will come to me if god says ›no‹. So that’s why I am still continuing. It’s a duty for my comrades. So I have to do it. No matter what I face, I will never give up, I will continue until the better days will come one day.

ISKANDER

I started from my own country. I did not come to stay in Libya, I came to pass. […] I never thought I would see what I had seen in Libya: It was after I have arrived in Libya, I found out that Libya is worse than my country, that I left behind. The thing that really impressed me was when I saw other human beings, especially kids and women. There were also some pregnant women who were suffering a lot. When I saw them, many questions came to my mind: “Why, just as we are human beings, are we suffering like this and other people out there enjoying their lives?” That is something that was just coming inside my mind. And why other people, I mean the international community, were silent on what was going on for us human beings because we did something great and we have done something really bigger, because every single day, we were shouting, sharing our voices, our different stories. That is something that really impressed me. And the same way that Yambio is representing, I wish one day I will be doing the same. Because one thing that I have seen in my eyes taught me something more and makes me feel more. The thing is, you know, I pray very much for a miracle that will happen to my life to get me out of this hell. And by the time when I get to a save country, I really want to join those who fight for the human rights, because I have seen enough myself. I try to add somebody who knows people who are always experiencing the pain, I really need to be a very active person to help people who are in need, like me now. And on the other hand, I want to study and finish my education. This is the first thing that I should start doing when I get out of this hell. I want to study to be a doctor. This is what I love to be. Because I have seen many ill people, when the war happened in Sudan, there were a lot of ill people. But there were no doctors to help. And you can see people are dying in front of you, because of the lack of medical assistance, lack of doctors, that thing just got me hope to try to be a doctor somehow to help people in need. And I know that a lot of people are in need in my own country, in my small village, right now. People need more help. These are the first things, to finish my education to be a doctor and another one, try to add some value for people who are suffering, try to help, try to amplify their voices.

MURAD

I am Murad, a refugee from Sudan. […] I went [to Khartoum] looking for safety and looking for education. But the government was not allowing me as I am one of the Darfurian people who was having a problem and war was going on. I see also people who have been attacked before, because they talk about life here and they talk about the reality and they just sent it out. And that’s why I am afraid I do lose myself because I want to just stay safe, I don’t need any trouble. But no one. This is all I have. I may not know what will happen to me. And that’s why I want to hide my face. Not to show to the world because, maybe somewhere else people may see my face and they may recognize me. “This guy was talking to the media and he has full information about this country”. And sometimes even our organisation itself is mafia, you know, the organisation UNHCR, they have some people dealing with them. I don’t trust these people of the organisation. […] Seeing is believing because the one who does not see, he cannot believe. But seeing is believing. I saw with my own eyes and I heard a lot of stories. My dream was to become - first I was thinking, when I get to a European country or any safe place where any kind of person is allowed who wants a future for himself, I first determined to become a motivational speaker. And that was my dream. But when I entered this country, the dream just died. And the dream, I just remind my dream, because we’re not working for it. If you want to be someone, you have to just work and you have to focus on. But no way for us to go to school, no way for us to go to college. Even to get some information. I was interested about having a good person who can always give me some inspiration and a motivational speaker because that has made my strength. I was trying to become my motivationer, but I don’t know. Actually, it is not too late, but the condition that we are in is not telling you that maybe one day you will become one. You come as a ref- like, as, I mean, migrator and you’re not allowed. Everything must be under their control. And that’s what they do. But we thank God that we believe that one day he will take us out of this country.

100 Days of Protest

01.10.2021-10.01.2022

raids of Gargaresh

It was 2021, October, when we were living at Gargaresh. That’s the place being attacked by Libyan official government at midnight, in the morning, 5 am, when everyone was sleeping. They came to attack us. From there they took us to Qhuadschiar which is a detention centre. It was around 5000 people. We spent just only one week because the place was very tiny they forced all the people to live together like that.....continue

- Iskander

And we broke [the prison] and ran immediately to UNHCR. At the time there was a militia man behind us who was shooting with the gun, I think, like six of us were dying in that center. From there, we arrived at UNHCR........

- Iskander

....We were expecting to get quick help because everyone, everyone was very tough on us. I mean, when I was getting in front of UNHCR, I was very happy, expecting to get out of Libya. But that never happened. I spent three months and ten days, nothing happened.

- Iskander

We have started our first protest camp in 2021 after the great event of Gargaresh that we have been chased out of our homes and thousands of our friends and brothers and sisters have been arrested and taken to the jails. But we could escape. So all those who could escape, we have gathered in front of the UNHCR headquarter in Tripoli, in Saraj area. So we have decided to at least pass a message to the world that we are suffering here in this country.

- Zaza

Actually, we were just protesting peacefully. We were just looking for help. We wrote some papers. We said [...] “We need you to take us from this country”. But all they did is to open the organization in the morning time. They just threw water on us in the cold condition [...] they beat us some time and they called security. We did not even put our hands on them because we knew what we were doing. We were calling for our rights and we were demanding to have better positions. We need a safe country and we need to have a good life as, yeah, Refugees.

- Murad

Sometimes I used to share my voice with David Yambio. He was like our leader in that protest, and we always tried to shout with our voices, to need evacuation out of Libya. I was doing that almost every single day. Until that protest was dismantled, so every single day, I spent three months and ten days in front of the UNHCR. Every single morning. It was very rainy and the season was very cold for me. All I was doing was: I tried to share my voice to reach the international community, find a solution and evacuation for me and for the rest.

[...] I was just speaking directly in front of people, telling our cases and about the conditions that we were in, I was trying to rise up.

- Iskander

There were about three or four leaders, if there’s anything they wanted to say, we sat down and listened to them, what they wanted to say and everything that is beneficial for us. We just go with it. And then if they say we have to get up in the early morning to go protest, we got up. If they say we don’t need to go today, we also remain there. Whatever they say we were listening to them because if they were our leaders, they were our commanders and we do appreciate them a lot.

- Murad

We were voted by the community. […] We met all together and we sat together. There were some people who were known by the community even when we were in Gargaresh, so they are some people of respect. I mean old people who used to lead people even when they were back in Sudan, educated people. The first thing that we did is we have selected those personalities. […] Then we have selected others like N.* and A.* and then M.* and me, we were selected because we speak the foreign language like English and French so we can help them in case there is a meeting with some foreigner for example. […] those people who were selected are the most trusted people of the community. So we did this and formed a committee of 10 people including women from different nationalities: Sudanese, South Sudanese, Ethiopians, Eritreans and Somalians. […] and we were leading that community.

- Zaza

There are many things that we used to do. So when we went for a protest or we are meeting members together and we write notes on big sheets of paper. And then we announce all the people who were living there that we would have a protest from this hour to this hour. “So these are the sheets that we will be carrying and some of you might be saying some words and others might be filming”. So this is what we used to do...1/4 →

- Zaza

And also if there is someone who is sick, so there is some people from the committee who are charged to take care of those sick people. They used to contact the ambulance so they can come and take. [one of them I remember he used to work as a nurse in Sudan. So by that experience, we have selected him to take care of the medical things.].... 2/4 →

- Zaza

There were some people who used to take care of the woman issues. So women have some many needs […] so in this case, we put in charge some people. We used to collect some money, especially for women. So they go to buy this needs of the women and distribute for them and some things for their children. And sometimes if a woman has no blanket or doesn’t have a mat, we used to collect about 1 Dinar or 2 Dinars, so they can go and buy a blanket for the families and so on.... 3/4 →

- Zaza

And sometimes even UNHCR decided to meet us. [Usually UNHCR leader used to speak English at that time.] So when they call us for a meeting we select some people and we send them to those UNHCR staff. So they sit together and discuss. […] At the end they come and join us and then they tell us about what they have discussed. So everything was organised like this.

[We even have received visits from foreign people from BBC and other TV channels. When there was something like this, we used to meet them and tell them about our stories and our life here.] 4/4

- Zaza

When we say human right, it is something that every living mankind on this planet of earth deserves to get. For example, living in a safe place, getting good education and having a good life. All this basic things are a right of every human being.

The world is enjoying with all these things, living in a safe place, having a good life, getting good education. But we as refugees and asylum seekers in Libya, there are many things missing with us. For example: we are not any safe. We are not getting a good education, and even our life is catastrophic and miserable, you see.

So we just need to get all these things. We are claiming all these things to be fulfilled. That’s all what we are demanding, very simple things.

- Zaza

The thing that I used to tell the international community is that they must take action on what is taking place in Libya. Because as I am saying, nobody feels what is happening here, until one is here. Because I, myself, I have seen very bad things in front of my eyes and I didn’t do anything because I’m powerless. I think the international community should have to see what is happening to refugees here. Because if these lives matter, they have to look at this. What is happening here, is not something that’s supposed to happen.

Eviction of the protest

10.01.2022

So on the 8th, 9th of January, the UNHCR asked us to register all the names of the people who were camping there. So we registered all the names and handed them over to the UNHCR staff. And they promised us they will start working on our cases and they will find some solutions for the people who deserve them, but not for all of us. And they promised to give us some assistance so that we can find some places in order to go and rent houses. But unfortunately on the 10th of January, at midnight, we found ourselves surrounded by a huge number of the government. So they came from different sides and then they started just catching us, hitting the people and catching the people and putting them on the buses. And have burnt all the small tents that we used to live in. And some people who were lucky could escape from there. But we - we also tried to escape, but we couldn’t. So we were crowded. And we have been taken to Ain Zara. So at that time, we were about 700 people who had been arrested and taken to the Ain Zara detention centre and there were women, children and people from different nationalities, Sudanese, Ethiopians, Eritreans, South Sudanese and Somalians. [...] They [the militias] were wearing different types of uniforms, so some of them belong to the prison of AinZara armies and the others, I think they are from Deraa, [accompanied by Anti-illegal immigration agency]. [...] So actually I think they are from three different categories of the government who formed a team and then they came and raided us there. [..] They were targeting the committee members first, but they couldn’t recognize us in that big crowd. But they found the leader of the committee, he was named M*. He was shot down. Some people carried him to the ambulance car and took him to the hospital. We got this news the next day when we arrived to Ain Zara. The bad thing is that even in the hospital, they have tried to target him. There were some people who asked for a patient who is called M* (the same thing they did in the prison at the first day we were brought in), but the nurses told them that there‘s no one called by that name, so they left. When M* and his companion (the one who was taking care of him) heard about that, they managed to escape from that hospital without the doctors knowing and went to a friend‘s house. He was getting treatment at that house until he got well. From there he decided to go back to Sudan because his life was in a big danger.

- Zaza

Another time, when we spent three months and ten days, again the police forces came and attacked us. It was in the middle of the night while everyone was sleeping. They came with different guns, they were a group of soldiers, and were looking for who is the person that was representing this community. And we said “That person does not exist.” And then they told us that “you have 10 minutes to leave this place or we can do what we want”. Everyone was sad and just looking around. There were not 10 seconds left until they used their forces and tried to beat us differently. And these small houses that we’ve built, they were trying to destroy. Until someone has been shot. So then they just forced us to bring us together and said to us we are taking you to a detention center, which is Ain Zara. And we are going to take you there. And tomorrow maybe UNHCR themselves they’d come to evacuate or whatever maybe and at the moment, everywhere around us were soldiers standing by, holding guns. And when they forced us to enter their own big houses, they were just trying to get what we belonged, like phones, whatever maybe some people I didn’t have a phone at the moment, but those who had phones were taken by them.

- Murad

Ainzara detention centre

10.01.2022 - 11.07.2023

We spent about one week and UNHCR staff came to AinZara detention centre and they have registered us again from the beginning. They asked us for our documents and we said that we left all our documents in the camp that we were leaving and some of us were carrying them. So we gave them only the numbers of these documents or registration card numbers you should give them so they can take it in the computer. They asked us some questions, like an interview or something like that. [...] And then we never saw any staff of UNHCR. [...] At that time there were other detainees who had been there before us. They told us that they had been brought like us, they were raided from homes and they were brought there. And if someone has money, he has to pay them and go out.

documenting forced labour

At the time we were at Ain Zara centre, first in the beginning, we were not even allowed forced labor to take a video or to even have phones, you know, because of the government and security of that Ain Zara centre. They took all the phones and everything that may be just like the phones with which you are able to send your message out to the world [...]. After two months or maybe two weeks, some of us were able to get a phone from somewhere else. But [...] the one who is responsible for that prison, [...] he said that “if anyone anyone tries to take some pictures or videos they record to send out, I will deal with him”. And since that day we are afraid because we have no choice, because we have been warned and a lot of things happened during that time [...]. We have to send to the world to know what we’re facing. But we have been warned, we cannot do anything because we don’t have anything in our hands. And we are in people’s hands. We do not have to say anything. We were silent until two months passed, and then something was actually changing sometimes. Some people were taking some images or videos to record, to send to the world. But even they’re afraid, they did not send.

documenting forced labour

And sometimes they come and select some people and bring them to work. So they spend all day working for them. And at the end of the day, they brought them back. So they used to force people, you know, to work and while they were working outside, they were awaiting them with their guns. So they can not escape. [So the kind of work was setting up] Buildings and paintings so everyone that has some skills like builders or painters or mechanics or for example carpenters. They used to select these people and bring them. The kind of people they used to target were people who were well-formed. [...] But at that time I was a little bit thin, so I was not selected.

documenting forced labour

They don’t have a specific job they give you to work. Because sometimes they take you to different detention center to clean up, sometimes to a building place, to help to build, something like that, all day. And bring you back, tomorrow the same. Until their job is finished. That’s what we did. And I myself, I have been there. [...] And you can’t do anything because everywhere around, there are just militiamen, holding different guns. [...] So we tried to make like some voice records or some videos. To send to David Yambio, who stays in Italy trying to explain our situation in Libya. And he was trying to do that, because If not, if he was not trying to do that - Who knows? Nobody knows. [...] everything that we made, records and sometimes small videos, we gave them to Yambio and the other day, we saw that he is talking, representing us. In that detention. [...] Me personally, I didn’t have my own phone, but for those who had a phone, they tried to hide the phone, and tried to make records in a very quiet place. Which has never been seen by soldiers or anyone. Like that we did it. So that’s what we did.

So they give us one bread and one cheese for each person in the morning and at midday, they give us a plate of spaghetti. For five people a small plate of spaghetti. You have to share with five people. And in the evening, also a plate of spaghetti for five people. That is the type of food that they used for us. And sometimes they did not even give us breakfast. They come to dinner. Sometimes they do not bring dinner. So sometimes they just bring one time or we eat one time a day and sometimes we eat twice.

documenting the conditions

At that time I did not have a phone because we were inside the prison there. The big problem is: Where would we get the money to buy phones? Even we don’t have, you know, some money to buy food. We’re not allowed at that time. It was a really hard time. [...] the system of this country, it’s not like any others country’s systems. It’s different. Like when you’re trying to fight for your right or you’re trying to say these things which are really happening, the truth. They will not allow you. And at that time we protest. We were there, peacefully and then they released us. But during that time, a lot of things happened, a lot of problems, but nobody even sent it out. There were just some women who had phones. They just used to send some pictures to David. [...] During that time in prison also a lot of abuse, a lot of beating, a lot of kicking. You know, some people even have been in a place like a punishment place, they locked you inside the room in the winter condition, then they put on air condition. Then it is really hard for you, you don’t have a blanket, you don’t have anything to cover yourself. You know, big problems. We drank water from pipes which is salty water that some people may have some dhiarria problems and a lot difficulties that we face. But we do thank God [...] for giving us another opportunity to continue our life forward. It is full of blessing, that whenever things happen, we don’t forget that God is behind us and believe that one day the better days will come.

hunger strike
05.02.2022 - 07.02.2022

We spent about two months there and didn’t see any visits from the organisations. So we have decided to make, as I can say, we have decided to not eat. We stopped eating. We spent about three days like this. We refused to eat at all. It was something like a hunger strike. [...] for three days. And the prison leaders came and asked us “Why you don’t want to eat?”, so we told them that “You brought us here without any crime and we just need a visit from the UNHCR. You have to go and tell the UNHCR to come and talk to us and see solutions.” From there they contacted I think the UNHCR. So the fourth day they came, the UNHCR staff and the other people from other NGOs, all of them came and found us. We were in a very difficult situation. Some of us even were sick because we hadn’t eaten for three days and it was the whole day. So they found us in really a bad situation and started asking us “Why are you doing this? Even if you do it, the solutions might not come as directly as you think. So you have to start eating and then we will write some reports to the organisations so they can find solutions for you by the time. But not at the same time, but we are thinking” and so on. So they tried to beg us [...]. So from there, we decided to start eating and we continued till there.

After one year, we were transferred to another room. And the room they transported us to was completely broken. It even has some windows on the top, you see. I think they used it to keep chicken or things, [...] inside there. They transported us there and they locked us. And when it rains, the rain comes already in, on us. So we tried to get some plastics from whenever they brought the bread in the plastics [...] and make these small things that can cover you in your blanket and so on. That’s what we used to protect ourselves from the rain, you see? I think you have seen some videos that we shared with you when we were in Ain Zara. We have recorded some videos describing the room that we are living in. So the room was really, really bad.

I remember that I recorded a video describing the type of food they used to bring us every time. And also another video showing the bathing rooms that we used to use and the room that we used to live in. So we are sharing these with David [...] [and he shared it] with very different media. I think there were a lot of reactions and I, personally, I have watched it, my face was blurry. So I don’t think that anybody ever recognized me. And then I remember even this video [where we are sitting, that is fully in French] has been shared in different social media. So suddenly, [...] I found myself, my voice, went so far.

release from Ain Zara
11.07.2023

By the time when they were releasing us, I expected too much. I thought there was just a miracle happening for me and for rest to leave Libya. But that never happened at all. So UNHCR with some staff, they came to us and talked to us “Now, all we have to do is to take you out from detention center to give you like one thousand Dinar and try to find a pathway only for a very short period of time.” And we believed that maybe they just even told us “You won’t spend any time in Libya” – and we crossed them we said it is like something is really happening for us. But then they handled us one thousand plus like some hygiene, whatever, like that. When we left, they said: “Go and let your phones on, we are going to call you.” But that never happened. [...] So until this moment, nothing happened from their side. The current situation that I am experiencing, is much worse than the experience that I have been going through. A couple of two months ago, me myself I was forced to work. I disappeared from my comrades.

release from Ain Zara
11.07.2023

The day we were released from Ain Zara, while we were on our road, I spoke. I have recorded a video explaining that we have spent these days, a year and a half and then finally we got released [...] - I think you have watched the video. After our arrival at the office of UNHCR, we finished all the documents and we were at our gate and waiting for the taxi to take us to colleagues’ or friends’ homes. One of the UNHCR staff came out and asked me for my document. So we were all standing there at the gate, but he was asking me personally for my document. So some friends said, “No, no, don’t give him”, but there was no way to refuse it. So I gave it to him and he went back with my document and he spent about minutes and then he brought it back to me and I said, “What is it for?” He said, “No, no, no nothing”. And I don’t know. Till today, I’m doubting that they might put my document on a blacklist or something like that. I don’t know. [...] we passed those interviews and later some people have been contacted to have other interviews. But till today I’ve not been contacted. I don´t know. Maybe in the coming days, I might be contacted. That’s what’s going on here.

release from Ain Zara
11.07.2023

We are not demanding something bigger. I myself was not just demanding something really bigger than looking for a safe place. Because as I’m a human being, I deserve to be respected and deserve to live life as every human being. But that never happened to my life, neither for my comrades. Because when we are in Libya here, we are not considered as human beings, not at all. Because almost everywhere you go, there is a checkpoint asking “Where are you going? Who are you? Why are you here?” This makes me like “Oh my goodness”. This makes me feel very sad when I am talking about this point. And as I was not looking for something bigger, neither my friends, all we want, is just evacuation from this country, if we deserve rights as everyone.

release from AinZara

I still have fear because they still are looking for people who have been protesting in front of UNHCR. Because now they know people, their names, but they don’t know their faces, [...] They are even looking for people who were staying in Ain Zara. If anyone asks, you say “no, I’ve never been to Ain Zara.”

Dec 2023 - Jan 2024

There is no real work, if you try to work there. You just sit on the roadside and then people will come and sometimes they say like “I have work”. Then you go to work. But you don’t know who that person is. Whether militia, whether good or whatever, maybe. We just go. When it was Friday in the afternoon, me and my friend we were sitting under the tree. A man came with a car, and said:“I have a job and I need people”. I said: “ok”. Me and my friend, when we went there, before we entered the house, I just realised that there were a group of people who were working and on the other side of the house, there was a man holding a gun. And then I said to my friend that we were in trouble. And they realised that we were trying to escape. And then they said “Come, come inside. Come inside”. After that, when we went inside the house, the first one asked me: “Now you clean all this house.” My friend asked “How much you are going to pay?”. And the other one replied: “What kind of money are you talking about? So, you see the slaves are working here. And you are also a slave, too. Why we are going to give you money?”. I was blinking my eyes to my friend to understand that those people were not good people, but my friend didn’t get me well, until we have been attacked - they beat us massively. After that, they just took our phones and then said, “Go, go go! We don’t want to see you around this area again. If we see you, something will happen!” I was very sick when I came home, I spent one month sleeping, and I even wanted to try to see the UNHCR doctors. I didn’t find anything, because everywhere I went, they tell me “You don’t have an appointment, there is no doctor”. Whatever, maybe. I just called my colleague, they found a small amount of money and I went to the hospital and now, just thank God, that I am still breathing. [Today I am fine, but I still have pain in my left shoulder.] But the current situation is not something that easy, is much worse. […] It’s racist everywhere. Now I’m talking to you, Wherever you go, there is a checkpoint. You get arrested. And nobody knows, where they are catching you.

- Iskander

There’s something that I might say, that you and your team, you have to just speak out to amplify the voiceless people to keep doing things like this, to find solutions for what is happening in Libya and conflicts in north Africa. Some people need to feel the things that are happening. The pain that people are going through. And to be honest, I’m really happy that today I could be able to speak to people like you, out here. It is really giving hope. To keep on dreaming one day to get out of this hell. Being in Libya is something very fearful and I think just sharing my voice to international communities and for people out there like you, who are just always feeling that other human beings’ lives matter. Try to just amplify our voice to the international community to find durable evacuation from Libya. Because we have seen enough.

- Iskander

I remember a story one of my colleagues told me: when he went for an interview with the UNHCR staff, one of the staff told him “if you continue talking about the bad things that you have seen in the different jails of this country, you might not travel and you will be living just here.” That is the first thing that tells us that all those who speak up, are threatened.

150 writings

Stories are told, information is disseminated, and radical solidarity is carried out.

These 150 stories are just an extract of stories that reach out to the hotline every day, since 2021. Behind every story is a person, a face, a daughter, a dream, a homeland, a

person longing for security, safety and wellbeing.

“Working on these stories brought me closer to these people, but left me questioning our moral duty towards one another in our society as well as the state›s legal obligation towards the person in need. My aim to bring you these

stories is in the spirit that you take part and is an invitation to awaken our consciousness to what is happening beyond borders.” - David Yambio

YAQOUB, Ammar Sharef

Sudan

I was born in Darfur, a local county. The reason is that the Sudanese government and the Arab tribes are killing us in Darfur. They are displacing us to other countries and seizing our lands, and our lives are at risk in our country. I entered Libya on the 7th of September 2018, and I stayed in Qatrun for a week, and I walked to Sabha for three days, and in Bani Walid I was improsoned for a month, and in Tariq Al-Sikka prison for 18 days (about 2 and a half weeks). And in Tripoli in Ghout Al-Shaal prison for a week, and on the streets in Al-Sarraj for three months and 10 as we protested, and in Ain Zara prison for 18 months (about 1 and a half years).

I was born in small village called Janga, northern Nyala, I left my country in 2020, because of the war to Chad then to Libya, when I came to Libya I thought as I was in peace, but reality of Libya is worse than my country. I tried my best to get to Europe three times, but unfortunately, I got pulled back by Libyan coast guards to a very worse detention center. I have been in Tariq Al-Sikka detention center, Al-Mabani, and finally in Ainzara, in which I have spent 18 months being forced to work almost every single day, until I have been released by the UNHCR. I was expecting to go to a safe country, but that never happened. Now I am on the ground experiencing the same challenges, my life is completely in danger. Thank you from bottom of my heart.

The second time, I escaped from the port, and after the Gargaresh raid of the 1st of October 2021 I joined the sit-in with thousands of others in front of the UNHCR, and it was difficult to obtain a document or make a living. We were attacked and transferred to Ain Zara Prison on the 10th of January 2022, and we were released in July 2023. Until today I am still hopelessly living in the streets.

Sudan

I come from the village of Bulbul Dalal Al-Anqara (Hala Zaghawa), which is west of South Darfur State (Nyala). I left my country in 2018 due to war and genocide to Libya. I crossed the sea 6 times, but every time I was intercepted by the Libyan Coast Guard and returned to very, very bad prisons where there is abuse and oppression of humanity. I endured all kinds of oppression and tyranny. In fact, it was a very great ordeal for all of that to get out of the hell of Libya and live in peace and security. In Libya, I was in Qargaresh, where we were raided by the Libyan authorities in the ugliest way, and the world bears witness in a way that does not recognize a shred of humanity. I was tekan to Ghout- Al-Shaal prison. After that, I was part of the self-organized movement of refugees in Libya. We protested for 3 months, then we were forcibly expelled and thrown into Ain Zara prison for 18 months, where I personally was subjected to some violations, enslavement, and physical abuse against humanity and human rights. Now I live my worst days in the streets of Libya, where I constantly worry, fear, and think about the danger of disappearance, kidnapping, or imprisonment by militias or random human traffickers.

I was beaten and robbed at home twice by the militias, and after that on the 1st of October the Libyan government as a home. We were locked up in the Ghout-Al-Shaal prison. I escaped from prison as a homeless person then I walked to the UNHCR Community Day Care (CDC). I Joined the sit-in for 3 months and 10 days. Then on the 10th of January we were evicted to a government prison in Ain Zara. I was enslaved and forced to work there for 18 months.

Anwar Abdullah Juma Taher

Sudan

My family and I are displaced from the scourge of wars in our country from 2004 to the present day, and my father was slaughtered by the Najaweed in June 2022 - and also our house was burned and my older brother was beaten with a firearm, and they were determined to slaughter him with a knife while screaming, all by the Darfur militias, a complete killing of the rest of the family members and part of them. A large member of my family was deprived of our rights and displaced due to the racist and regional war from the Janjaweed. They attack homes and farms, rape girls, kill men, burn children, and take young men from family. Our dreams have become the simplest thing: safety and food. We are a small family of 4 members. We immigrated from Sudan to Libya in September 2022 in light of the difficult circumstances. I was detained in Sabha for two months because we did not have the money to pay the ransom, I was tortured and beaten with a whip inside the prison, which led to a problem at the end of the spinal chain from the effects of torture. I told the official from the prison that I did not have the amount of the ransom, I told him that the situation of my family in Sudan was equal to that they themselves had no power. He spent his day eating and drinking. Where did they find you for this amount? He asked me to tell the Sudanese in Libya to pay the ransom. I told him that I had no acquaintances and no breadwinner here. He asked for half the amount, I said no, then I was tied up for two days, beaten and tortured. No, he refused, and the amount was more than I could bear. Also, it was done to put Pressure on me to pay the full amount or I will be imprisoned for life and I will be transferred to another prison far from the city in the desert to spend the rest of my life. After diligent efforts and communications, my captivity was released by paying an amount of 2000 dinars from the Sudanese brothers and friends who are in Sabha and the other who is in Ajdabiya, may God bless them. I suffered. We suffered the most during this trip, and all our supplies and a small portion of the expenses that do not make anything as daily expenses were looted. We came to the UNHCR and registered in order to find safety in their arms in light of the difficult circumstances. They said, “We are safe, but they do not know where to accommodate us” We thought that the Commission had camps, but on the contrary, rents. Houses are expensive, and we cannot rent the yard. We have nothing, I do not know what to do, and we do not have the simplest necessities of life. For us, it is normal as children of wars, but it is difficult to bring food for me and my children. It is the most difficult option, even though we faced great challenges in Libya and in Darfur, where people harassed us and insulted us with incitement words. Hatred, racism, and regionalism, as the security, social, and economic conditions that surround us in Libya, or that I and my family face, may be difficult to describe, make me feel unstable and enjoy life. As an asylum seeker registered with the UNHCR, I ask you to give me an opportunity to start a new life full of hope and social peace far from war, violations, and a history of 20th of January 2023, My wife was subjected to verbal harassment, and my children also suffer from fear strikes and involuntary urination due to the difficult security conditions we are going through and the inability to treat and educate them. Also, I cannot move around and work due to osteoarthritis due to excessive torture inside the prison and because they are imprisoned in a house for a month - 400 dinars. Today, we have a three-month right of 1,200 dinars which we haven’t paid. Please help me and make us happy. By God Almighty, we are in dire need. I ask you by God, good people who have the ability to help us. Do not delay us for a moment. Also, I ask you to help my children by giving them their right to education and providing a safe environment for them and for us. I thank you for your endless efforts in Service to man and humanity. We are looking for safety everywhere. The family consists of five members.

We were robbed and attacked by militias. My brother had a nervous breakdown and was arrested. Currently, he is missing. We are still searching for him and for those who have found him until now, and we are afraid for him, and we cannot go to the police stations because we entered Libya in an illegal way. My sister's son suffers from involuntary urination. In Libya, we face many problems. We cannot get a house because of the money, and we cannot get a job. I have university degrees. I searched for work in various fields. I cannot be employed because of nationality and ethnicity. I worked as a house cleaner so we could buy food. We rented a small house and did not find any assistance from anyone. On the one hand, we are also exposed to harassment, restrictions, and harassment from the youth of the neighborhood. I, my sister, and her young son doesn’t have an older man with us. Now I, my sister, and her son are zero and cannot be able to rent a house, we cannot get a job, and we have no one to take care of us.

After losing safety in Bahri, a clash occurred, leading to our forced exit. We moved to the Jabal area. The guardians of where Istiqlal were subjected to Istiqlal by princes who wanted him to marry me, forced him to the Rapid Support militias. A clash occurred and we were able to escape from it. We continued to move on until we saw a truck. We did not know where we were going until we reached Dongola and after suffering on the way to Libya from thirst, hunger, cold, desert terror, and the threat of militants. In the desert, we arrived in Libya. My sister and I sat on the road until we had an appointment. They did not allow us to enter the UNHCR gate until an appointment. A lady sympathized with us, and we went to her house. After my sister caught a cold from the rain and the cold, her husband did not accept it. They expelled us. Then we returned to the street. We met a young man who took us from the rain to... His shared home with eight young people has caused a lot of suffering so far on the way.

I was forced to flee to Libya via Omdurman, Dongola, and I arrived in Libya on the 21st of April 2008. I was subjected to various types of torture, me and my daughter. I was sold by smugglers. I suffered the worst types of torture. I was raped and gave birth to last daughter, Ranin, so it is impossible for me to return to my country, but I will definitely die there. I and my daughter will be killed. We were exposed to problems on the way and were circumcised in Turkina in Ajdabiya. We saw the horrors of torment, including humiliation, humiliation, and gang rape. We were sold by smugglers, threatened with weapons, and immoral aggression by the smugglers, including cursing, beating, and taking our possessions, including phones and money. After that, we entered the Tripoli area, and we were already displaced. We had no shelter or money. We suffered in the streets and in the mosques. They beat, plundered, and displaced us from our lives. We came and sat in front of the commission for 100 days during the collective sit-in, and we were also attacked, and until now we live in the Qarqarash area, and the militias are still attacking us.

Rabab Al-Taj Idris

Sudan

I was born in Libya. The reason I left Sudan was a case of revenge against my family. My family killed me because I married a man who was a stranger to the family. Therefore, I cannot go to my country. The challenges I faced in Libya. Harassment and being subjected to rape. One of my daughters, who is 13 years old, was harassed and suffered from involuntary urination and intense fear and dread from the man who owns the house. Now we are suffering. From fear and threats, we are threatened with death by him if we find him anywhere. He said he would kill us. For your information, I reached out to the commission, but I did not find solutions.

I am from Sudan, and I was born in Arum, a small village in Western Darfur. I left my country in 2003 due to the war and lived in Chad in Klaji with my father for 19 years. I lost my mother during the war in 2003. My sister was raped during the war by militias, and through the rape her condition turned into a psychological state and she had symptoms of madness. As a result of the fertilization and psychological condition, my sister died in 2022. I arrived in Libya in 2022, the same year my sister died. While I was entering Libya, I was beaten by Libyan car drivers. I tried to cross twice by sea to Aruba, but I was not able to cross and was returned to the prisons. Once I was going from Libya to Tunisia, but every time I was intercepted and returned to Libyan prisons. Inside prisons, I was subjected to blackmail, and every time they demanded pennies from me for my release. Now I wander the streets, and I am always in danger of being kidnapped by militias and random human trafficker. Every day I go to the station waiting for work, but the station also has kidnappings of people in unknown direction. Now I am working and writing a diary every day. I go to a station waiting for work, but diary work is not available. If there is a diary, people at the gates stop you on the way and ask where your papers are. Before you answer, they start searching, and if they find the pennies, they take them and tell you to go now, and here I am. I became without pennies, and I want food and drink and I have rent for the house. We go to work as slaves, and we do not get any pennies. Sometimes we find a monthly job and start working when the pennies are paid. My employer fires me without pennies and tells me to look for another job. I am in danger every day. We hope that you will help me protect me.

The reasons that forced us to leave Sudan Tribal problems between Zarqa and Arabs caused the loss of my father-in-law, may God accept him, 1/7/2005. The house was completely burned, and I lost everything I owned. It was subjected to all kinds of violations, including genocide, looting, and the rape of our mothers, wives, and daughters. When we took refuge in the camp for the displaced, we were faced with the difficulty of living, without health care or education, and we were attacked again by terrorist groups, due to an action by the ill-fated regime, and we were displaced from the camp. Then we took refuge on 2/22/2005 in the city of Omdurman to live in a slum due to the lack of the right to rent and provide a living. The ill-fated government refused to let me live in a slum, and my husband was arrested on 6/6/2018 for a period of 7 months in detention. He was released from prison on 12/10/2018 because of his housing. Randomly, we received all kinds of torture, humiliation, and racism from the dictatorial gang inside the prison Lack of security...protection...fear of death for my family and myself...homelessness, rape and hunger for my children...instability due to tribal and racist problems. We entered Libya on April 14, 2019. We were kidnapped by human traffickers in Ben Walid. They asked us for 5 thousand dollars and took us to a detention center (a place we do not know). My daughter's leg was broken due to severe beating and torture. My daughter suffered a lot and the fracture caused her a lot of trouble. My son also had one of his front teeth broken due to the torture. I was also brutally raped in a prison in a very horrific way. We also saw inhumane things and scenes. We saw people beating children in brutal ways and women raping and harassing them. We saw men torture and kill them, we saw all these things inside the prison. We drank salty water and ate one obligatory meal a day. All this happened to us because we did not pay the ransom when we had the opportunity to escape, we allowed ourselves to escape by taking advantage of the free service on farms and buildings. We took advantage of the opportunity and escaped. We stayed in prison for 6 months. My husband went out to the workers’ square to serve and help us make a living. Rifatu’s militias came from the square to serve, so they beat him in the head, stomach, and neck. They said they wanted a ransom from you, 5/2/2023, in exchange for our release. He was imprisoned for more than two weeks. In the end, he was able to. Escape. They said, “We don’t want an African in the Zawiya area.” They attacked us in the square, expelled us, poured gasoline on us, and threatened us with a fire, but we ran and fled, and they fired gunshots into the air with the aim of intimidating us in the month of April 19, 2023. We were unable to leave the yard due to the threats, the raising of weapons, and the fear. My daughter was harassed twice in the month of 11/10/2022 at school. And the month of 3/4/2023 from the owner of the bread. The master of the courtyard, the gasoline and gas store in the courtyard, is afraid of a fire for the children. Qazifa fell in the yard. My son was kidnapped and they said we wanted to ransom him on December 20, 2022. During my husband's period, I was raped. I went to a service and walked to people who took me to a rest house. I did not hand over my body to them and they raped me. I resisted with all my might, but unfortunately I was beaten, abused, and raped by people. The number of people was 4 in the month of May 8, 2023. They are the same people. 4 They attacked us in the yard. They beat me and my children. They threatened my children with a weapon. They also violently raped me. I was pregnant. I had a miscarriage in the month of 7/5/2023. Before they left, they threatened to kill my husband, kill me, and kidnap my husband. They attacked us in the courtyard, the children of the courtyard owner. They said they wanted Tramadol because my husband was serving in the hospital, and we told them that we did not have any. They beat us all until I had no bleeding. I was pregnant and the baby girl was upset, so she was admitted to foster care in Ramadan, April 24, 2022. We left many homes because they attacked us. I am afraid for my life and for the lives of my husband and children. I do not feel safe and my children have nightmares at night and urinate involuntarily. I ask for your help. This is not the first time we have been exposed to such problems and repeated attacks. This is not the first time I have been subjected to rape, harassment, and threats. Our lives are truly in danger. I am afraid for our lives. Please help us. I want safety for me, my children, and my husband.

They surrounded the entire village, killing everyone who tried to flee and killing a large group of young men, women and children. We were subjected to severe beatings and torture that almost cost me my life. After many attempts, we fled to El Fasher, where we ended up in the Naivasha camp for displaced people. And from here began a new phase of suffering, with no shelter or drink. We lived in very difficult circumstances. Our utmost dreams were to have security and safety The situation is somewhat okay Entering humanitarian organizations Life is back a little better After April 15 We had a war in Sudan the end of the house, the end of everything is over. I left Sudan on 11/10/2023 with my family heading to Libya through the desert. On the way, I passed by bandits. They disgraced everything I owned. But thankfully I arrived in Libya via the southern city of Sabha. From Sabha to Tripoli, I was imprisoned for almost days.

I am of Sudanese nationality and was born in the city of Nyala. I left my country in 2023 because of the war. My husband works as an employee in the Finance - Tax Office in the Stock Exchange to collect tax revenues. The militia attacked all the amounts collected. My husband was (imprisoned) by the government as he was collaborating with them. He was released from (prison) after (8) days because the charge was not proven. After the militia took over the stock exchange, he was arrested by the militia in order to work with them as a specialist in collecting revenues. When he also refused, he was (imprisoned) to put pressure on him and your children. He fled from them after a clash occurred between the militia and the army, climbing the camp wall and going to a safer place. After the clashes subsided, the rebels came to the house to search for him. We and my children were intimidated and threatened with death. Shots were fired, which frightened us greatly. They promised us that they would come back if my husband did not come to them. This situation terrified me and my children greatly, and the children were now without education, so I left the house with only the important documents. On the day: 04/11/2023, my family and I left the city of El Fasher, heading to the state of Libya, where the driver got lost in the Sahara desert for (4) days during which we were exposed to death, especially the children, due to the loss of food and water. Our Lord was able and kind, and we were saved. We arrived in the city of Kufra on the day: 21 /12/2023 They put us in a farm, where the environment is very bad and prides itself on the lowest necessities of life, so that we pay them money, otherwise we will die in that bad farm. We paid the money and got out after two days of being imprisoned. We moved from Kufra on 12/11/2023, passing through Ajdabiya, and thank God we arrived in Tripoli on 12/14/2023. We looked for work to cover rent and living expenses, but we did not find it. We are stuck at home with limited movement in order to avoid arrest and imprisonment by the militias.We are threatened with eviction from our landlord regarding the rent.

I am one of those fleeing the war in Sudan, and I was arrested on the first day of the war, me and my uncle, and we escaped from them after two days. Then I decided to escape from Omdurman with my family, and when we escaped from Khartoum, we reached the Sudanese town and then a desert, but in the desert, a group of an armed group attacked us and attacked my wife. He harassed her and even took the ring in her hand from her. I left on June 1, 2023 from Khartoum and arrived in Libya on June 23, 2023. Also, when we arrived at Umm Al-Araneb, we found someone who arrived in Tripoli and took us to our ward. We stayed with him for two days, then he took us to another ward. We stayed with him for three days, and they took all our expenses and left us in the street. We registered as a commission on the 29th of August, and an employee gave me numbers and said, “You go to people of protection, and you go to a doctor.” We walked to a doctor, but Hemaya has not responded to us yet, and no assistance has been provided to us by the organization. I am a person from the war, and I have a little girl and I need baby supplies, including that her mother does not have enough milk to breastfeed her, and I My circumstances are difficult and I did not find any work, and due to the lack of security, I was not able to move easily to take care of myself, so I am exposed to assault and abuse when I go anywhere to work and self-employment, especially when I went to work on a farm in Wadi Al-Rabi’. I was beaten and detained by the militias. They took my expenses and left me. Even my wife, when he goes to work, is always subjected to discrimination and harassment by business owners and leaves work, and God is my witness, our situation is difficult and very difficult. I was imprisoned again for two weeks from the health of the workers by an unknown party (they are gangs) a few days ago, specifically the month of November 2023. After beating, torture, and death threats, they fled from them.

I am Sudanese by nationality. I was born in the state of North Darfur, El Fasher, from a limited-income family. With the outbreak of war in Sudan, and at the present time, the war is still ongoing. We were subjected to mutual bombing from unknown parties, which led to the intensification of the war. After that, we were displaced to an area near El Fasher, me and my minor brother, and he did not reach the age of 14, on August 8, 2023, we were struck by fear, panic, and depression due to the loss of my family members, my mother, father, brother, and sisters. I did not expect how they were and where they are to this day. After that, we moved to an area near El Fasher. After that, we moved towards Libya. We settled in the desert for 11 days until we arrived in Kufra on September 30, 2023. After that, we moved from Kufra to Ajdabiya until we reached the Gallo Gate. We were imprisoned in Gallo because of a car violation. On June 10, 2023, the owner of the car came and released the driver and an assistant on bail. He left me and my brother in prison. My brother and I were put in prison. Sexual harassment, harassment, ill-treatment, beatings on my brother, and hard work. While I was cleaning bathrooms, the soldier behind me would harass me and cling to me and point out a weapon. He said, “If you don’t carry out what I tell you, I will kill your brother, and my brother works very hard work.” He was beaten, and we were released from prison after six days, on the 10th of December 2023. After that, we went to illegal immigration. We spent the night in the illegal immigration prison. After that, we moved towards Ajdabiya until we arrived after spending 9 days of fatigue, suffering, and mistreatment. After that, we moved towards Tripoli. We arrived two days later at 2 a.m. We had no one in Libya. We lived in a forest with no food, no drink, no clothing, no security. Until the day of the raid on the 26th of November 2023, we were present in the Ferna Forest, fleeing, not knowing where we were headed or where. Our fate until we reached Sayad Bridge 27. We sat among the unmarried youth of the tribes and part of the Tuareg tribe. We lived the most difficult days of my life in terms of harassment, harassment, harassment, and cursing words. Sometimes there was a knock on the door in uniforms on Thursday night from young men who said, “Come, take a shirt with me. You are a beautiful Sudanese. Come. We have been here for an hour.” At five in the evening, they closed all doors until the next day at 12 noon. We cannot leave the house due to the lack of security and threats from unmarried young men (singles). After that, we went to the Al-Aziziyah farms. There was also harassment by the shepherds. My brother and I live on our own now and would not be able to roam inside Libya. We are always in danger and kidnapped by militias and human traffickers in a random manner.

Then came the war with the Janjaweed, who killed the people of the villages and burned the houses. We fled to Nyala and then to El Fasher. I was arrested in El Fasher prison. After I left prison, I came to the state of Libya in 2022. I also collided with the war in Libya. I was arrested in Al Zawiya prison for 6 months and then I left.

I came to Libya through El Fasher, then the Sudanese Tina, then the Chadian Tina, then the Sahara, then Korea, then Qatrun, then Sabha, then to Tripoli. At the last gate, I was detained in prison for a period of 4 hours, and I was subjected to harassment, then I left and entered Tripoli on 8/15/2023. I tried to cross the sea, but I failed once on my own. Life in Libya is difficult for me as a girl without a livelihood, and I am also divorced and have no children. The security situation is difficult. There is no way to cross the gates so as not to find work. The Libyan people do not accept me, because of my gender, there is no freedom of movement. Transportation is provided by a taxi. When a Sudanese meets you, he tries to harass me. I cannot get a job and I cannot move now. Every week when I go to the Commission, I find a family that I talk to and do not go with them. Then I return to the Commission and so on. I fear human trafficking gangs.

For my father, who has been living for years and does not ask about me. I grew up without him. The first time I came, he thought about marrying me to an old gray man for money. I ran away from him, I came to Tripoli, and now he is looking for me. He said if he happens to me, he will kill me. He is already sitting drinking something forbidden, so we are very afraid.

I am from Sudan, the state of Western Darfur, the city of Nyala... After the war broke out in Sudan and we were accused of damages and violations, we had no choice but to flee. I began my journey with my son, and it began on 8/20/2023. We headed towards the desert, hoping to take refuge in Libya, but something unexpected happened. We were subjected to violations, blackmail, and harassment until we reached the city of Kufra on the Libyan border, and nothing changed. The real suffering began in housing, food, and drink, and we did not have the money to meet our needs. Here, independence began from the inhumane people. They were offering us money in exchange for honor. All we had to do was leave for Tripoli, the capital. It was a very bad trip. We arrived in Tripoli on 9/22/2023. We resorted to organizations, but there is no life for those you call. I am now living the worst days of my life in Libya.. I am being harassed morning and evening, so I ask you to look into our case..... May God grant us success.

During my stay in Sudan, my wife got severely sick and needed medical attention that the Sudanese authorities was not able to provide to us, so I left Sudan to Egypt on the 24th of May 2019. Upon my arrival to Egypt , I registered with the UNHCR and lived there for 4 years, all these years life was very difficult , I wasnt able to work and provide for my family, I couldn’t pay rent and for these reasons we lived often in the streets. So again, I left Egypt to Libya on the 20th of October 2023. When we camped outised the UNHCR in Tripoli, we were taken on the 6th November2023 to Abu Salim prison where we spent a month before being released by the help of the Sudanese embassy. Now we still live in streets in Tripoli, my little daughter is constantly sick. On the 29th of January my wife had a miscarriage of 5 months pregnancy.

I, Musab Muhammad Ishaq, left my country for humanitarian reasons. My father worked as an employee in humanitarian organizations and UN missions in Sudan, specifically the International Rescue Committee. Because of his work, the government attacked us, and since we are from the Fur tribe, charges were brought against him in a bad way so that they would attack him and his work. We were exposed as a whole. For the same harassment, I was subjected to arrest and an assassination attempt inside the university. I was unable to complete my education and I received threats inside the university, so I fled and was unable to complete my education. I am an asylum seeker in Egypt and then I entered Libya and applied for asylum as well. I arrived in Libya between 2016-2017 and was sold and tortured there. Then I escaped and went to Tripoli, but I was sold in Bani Walid and tortured there for a period of two months, demanding money until they released me. I also tried to go to the sea more than once. Once the boat crashed and once, we were kidnapped from the beach, and we were imprisoned for 6 months with torture and starvation. I also escaped. Currently, I am facing... A death threat from one of the militias. I cannot work or go out except with caution and concealment. I need protection.

Currently, I am in Tripoli, Libya. I entered Libya since October 2020, where I was imprisoned and tortured in the city of Ajdabiya by smugglers for two consecutive weeks, half a piece of bread and salt water per day, and I arrived in Benghazi, where I stayed from the year 2021 to April 2023, and there is also I was imprisoned and tortured for a week, and then I came to Tripoli in May 2023 until now, where I have no home or work. I registered with the Commission and called them. No one answered the calls. When I come to the Commission’s headquarters, they do not allow me to enter, and I do not know what to do. Even the roads have been damaged. I was beaten by militias here in Tripoli, where there is no safety at all in any place in Libya as a whole. I just want to get out of this country to safety, as I have people in Darfur who need help, and until now I cannot communicate with them since the outbreak of the war until now. My only wish is that I want to go to any country where there is safety and respect for human rights, knowing that I am a graduate of the University of Kordofan with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.

I am from Sudan-Darfur, South Darfur Nyala, I lived in Al-Wadi neighborhood east of square 7 House number 180 We left because of the war. April 15 came out Three months after the beginning of the war, during this period we were walking or fleeing inside the city to the safe areas on the outskirts, because our neighborhood was subject to bombing from both sides, so Danat was falling randomly inside the neighborhood, and our house was bombed during that time, and we kept walking to schools and kindergartens in the areas that were safe and there were people in pain. I was distressed to receive aid, and my husband was moving to look for a livelihood because some markets were still working under these circumstances. My husband was arrested on June 15 by the Rapid Support Forces. They thought he was a police spy. I thought he was injured or dead for 5 years. I did not tell him. Investigate him and then release him. Praise be to God. The bombing began to spread to all areas of the city, and it became completely unsafe. We were forced to flee at night, me, my daughter, my husband, and some families, until we arrived in the evening of the second day to an area called Damah. On Tuesday, it was July 25, the month of 7. I was very tired, and my daughter was sick because of the dampness. We found a driver for a large vehicle, which we call Lori, and we arrived. Al- Fasher We, some families, and some of them decided to go to other areas, and we arrived in Al-Fasher. It was Wednesday, 12 noon. It was safer, and we only had a little remaining aid, our tours, files, and some clothes. Then a clash occurred between the movements and support in Al-Fasher on the evening of Friday, 7/28. Here we decided to take refuge completely in the nearest country there. Aid commission, so the spare parts were Libyan, and we moved from El Fasher on Saturday morning, July 29, to Mellit. On the same day, we arrived at Mellit Market, and here was the problem. Our money was not enough to reach Tripoli, so we stayed in Mellit Market for nine days. My husband worked as a porter, and we slept in the hut of cars carrying the goods until we found a Sudanese named. Al-Sadiq asked me, “Do you have no family?” So, I told him what was happening, and he sympathized with me, and we took him to his house. This was five days before we moved to Kufra. He told me that he is a driver with a fuel bag from Kufra, full of fuel, and vice versa, but his car did not finish, and he promised us that he would drive us. Thank God, we moved on Sunday, August 6. We arrived and even gave us twenty dinars to reach the place. Their name is Awlad Mansour Farms in Kufra. It was Friday morning, August 11, and on Saturday we walked through internal security in Kufra and did a medical examination. We moved to Ajdabiya on Sunday evening, August 13, and from Ajdabiya on Tuesday morning, August 15. They were coming with us in the same car, and we bought blades on Wednesday and communicated with acquaintances who were my friends and who came to UNHCR. She was about 11 months old and she described to us their home and them sitting with them. My husband works as a day laborer in the Sunday market. Sometimes I work a hand cart, and sometimes the kasha comes. He left two weeks ago and has not returned yet, and I do not know how to behave now. I work in cleaning gardens. Sometimes I deal with racism, and some of them give me a wage that is less than what was agreed upon, and I am insulted. I was insulted when I objected to the point that I was harassed. I ask for help for me and my family.

I come from Sudan, West Darfur, from Krinding camp, I left my country in 2019 because of the war and was personally targeted because of my belonging to the Masalit tribe, and I entered Libya in the same year, and on my way to Tripoli, I was arrested and detained in the Al-Shuwerif area. They asked me for a ransom after I was physically tortured for two months, but with God’s help, I was able to escape from them. After my arrival in Tripoli, I tried the sea three times, but all of them failed when I was intercepted by the Libyan Coast Guard. After that, I was part of the self-organized movement of refugees in Libya. We protested for 3 months, then we were expelled, forcibly arrested, and thrown in Ain Zara prison for 18 months. I was personally subjected to enslavement and all kinds of gross human rights violations, and now in the streets of Tripoli with persecution, racism, and non-acceptance. I am powerless and I am now, frankly, in desperate need of protection.

I'm from Sudan, from a small village called Ajabana. it's in the western Darfur state, the part of Sudan that's destroyed by the war since 2003 until today, and thousands of people have been killed and millions of others fled to Chad looking for protection. Me and my family also left our country in 2003 because of the war and fled to Chad with my family, and I spent in refugees camp in eastern Chad for more than 17 years. I came to Libya in 2021, and I was arrested twice: in August 2021 and on the 10th of January 2022, the day we were raided from CDC camp and were taken to Ain Zara prison where they kept us for 18 months. I'm one of human rights defenders in Libya, we started a peaceful protest in 2021, we were defending for our rights and the rights of other refugees and asylum seekers in Libya. When I was inside Ain Zara prison, they always forced me to do hard jobs, and they used to beat me. So now I'm out of prison but my life is still in danger, I'm threatened, and I don't have freedom of movement. So, I'm in real need of protection.

I fled to Chad with what was left of my family, and I lived there for 17 years as a refugee. In 2020, I arrived in Libya through the desert in Jalu and was imprisoned there for 3 months by smugglers. From there, I tried the sea once and was intercepted and sent back. I was imprisoned in Maya Warshifana prison for a month and ten days, and I was released with a ransom. At that time, I was threatened with death if I did not pay the ransom. In 2021, after we were raided by the Gargaresh militia, I was one of those demanding our rights and the rights of others. We staged a sit-in in front of the headquarters of the United Nations High Commissioner, UNHCR, demanding protection for a period of 3 months and 10 days. We were raided by the militia in front of the headquarters of the Commission and forced to be placed in Ain Zara prison for a period of 18 months. Slavery, all kinds of torture.

HamadaAdam Suliman

I was born in the village of Karwaya Laban, a village in North Darfur. I left my country in 2018 due to the war and the impossibility of providing a decent living due to the lack of job opportunities to provide the simplest requirements of life, health, education and security. And the research was that life would be better. I entered Libya in January 2020. I worked for a few days in Umm-al-aranib, then smugglers took me to Tripoli for 1000 dinars. Then we moved to Sabha into a warehouse belonging to the smugglers. Then I was picked up from the warehouse into a Tundra car. I was subjected to all the physical abuse, including beatings and insults, and then they took me to the desert. They enslaved me for six months in the desert to feed the sheep as shepherd. I was dumped alone in the desert to take care of the sheep and my torture used to bring me my needs like food and water once a month. After six months, a smuggler brought me to Sabha. This man said, “He would smuggle me to Tripoli, and life was like death.” After exhaustion, I arrived in Tripoli and went and registered with the UNHCR on the 1st of July 2020. Then I tried to enter the sea twice, but we were not successful. I was one of the refugees in front of the UNHCR headquarters for 90 days (about 3 months), then to Ain Zara prison for 18 months, and now my life is in danger.

The government, militias, and security forces attacked our village in 2003. The attack was carried out with horses, camels, and on foot, and then many citizens were killed. After that, they raped the women, plundered all the property, and burned the entire village. After the situation worsened, we headed towards the mountains and spent two days, and the situation did not improve at all. We headed towards Nirti locality and arrived and settled under the mango trees. The attacks were continuing by the government, its militias, and the Janjaweed, and they put us under compelling security, on the other hand, and after three months, humanitarian organizations came and visited us, and then the southern camp was established. The attacks were continued by the government, its militias, and the Janjaweed. After that, the humanitarian organizations were expelled. The situation changed and the government began attacking us on the roads, in the markets, and inside the camp and everywhere. I left Sudan on the 17th of October 2019 searching for a decent life and on the 7th of April 2020 I arrived in Libya. I tried to cross the sea four times, but each time I was intercepted and returned to Libyan prisons. On the 1st of October 2021, we were violently attacked by the government and militia forces which later compelled us to nothing but to reject and protest for better treatment. After 100 days of protest, we were rounded up again and imprisoned in Ainzara for over a year with hard labour and exploitations and enslavement. UNHCR abandoned us for all that period until the 10th of July when they decided to secure our release and until now, I am still homeless.

The reason for leaving my country is the war, our village has been attacked severally and frequently most people have been killed by negative forces, Janjaweed militias which is led by Mohammed Hamdan Dagolo. They destroyed all our villages, they took every single thing that we had and hundreds of people lost their lives I and my survival family fled to Nyala town, in Nyala town I was also feeling so scared when I see the same forces moving around the town then I decided to scape and I came to Libya, in Libya I also tried to escape to Italy several times but it's very unfortunate I have been pulled back by Libyan coastguard. I finished all my life in prisons because of trying to escape to Italy, I don't even know if my survival family still are alive.

Noureddine Abdullah Fitr Haroun

Sudan

I was born in West Darfur State, administrative unit (Kango Haraza). For many years I was displaced to Krindak camp. Reasons for leaving my country of origin was the massacre of Krindak camp on the 31st of December 2019 by the Janjaweed and the Rapid Support. We were in danger, and it was an ethnic target. The most appropriate option was to escape from hell to the nearest country, reaching Chad and then to Libya on 26th of January 2020. The direction was towards Europe, and the sea crossing turned more than 3 Several times, but each time it was in a new prison. 10-10-2021 Then the refugee protests began in front of the UNHCR headquarters. I was part of that movement for 3 months. Then we were raided in front of the headquarters of an organization and deported to Ain Zara prison. I stayed in Ainzara for 18 months. I was subjected to all kinds of torture and enslavement. Then I returned to face the streets of racism, racist people, and tyranny. As for my Human Rights work, I have worked tireless before and more intensely after the formation of Refugees in Libya which came after the attack on our homes in Gargaresh. I was one of the community mobilisers and I actively engaged in negotiations with the local authorites and the ministry of interior during the three months long protest. After I, was detained in Ainzara for 18 months for my participation at the protest, I was targeted on multiple grounds and punished but I never ceased to document and denounce the violations and ill-treatment that we and thousands of migrants and refugees suffer in the region. I was released in July 2023 thanks to the exterior pressure by Refugees in Libya throughout European countries. I continued to do my human rights work for which I am being targeted every day and the UNHCR is against all the Refugees Human Rights Defenders. They render us no support and we have no possibility for any durable solution outside of Libya and I cannot return to Sudan not just because of the current war but because the persecution I faced which in principle chased me away.

Ahmed Mohamed Issa Abdel Qader

Sudan

I was born in South Darfur State, Kalma Camp the reasons for my country's inability are to flee. I lived in displacement camps since I was four years old, and I did not taste the taste of humanity in my country. Then I decided to look for a shelter that would contain me as a human being in the first place. In 2019, I entered Chad and then Libya. I did not find humanity in Libya. I tried to cross the sea twice, but I was intercepted and then returned to the prison. Then we were raided in Qarqarish, and we were taken to prison after we left. I tried to find a shelter that would contain me as a human being, and I went to the UNHCR organization to contain me and take me to a safe place. We staged a sit-in in front of the headquarters for 3 months and 10 days. After that, the sit-in was broken up and we were imprisoned for 18 months with torture. After that, I was released, and I still suffer from violations inside Libya by the militia and human traffickers. I want a shelter that will contain me as a human being. I did not find humanity in my country or in Libya.

I was imprisoned more than five times inside Libyan prisons and was subjected to severe physical abuse. Now I am physically injured. I have had two abdominal surgeries. I tried to cross the Mediterranean Sea 4 times, but the Libyan Coast Guard intercepted me, and I was thrown into prison again. I lived most of my life inside Libyan prisons. In 2021, the Libyan government raided our homes in Qargarash and we were arrested and deported to Al-Mabani prison, and then after that I was able to escape, I went to the headquarters of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Al-Sarraj. There I was looking for security and protection, but I ended up when the Libyan government raided us, and we were deported to Ain Zara prison. I lived there for 18 months before I was released. I was detained in Ainzara for my participation in organizing the peaceful protest with which we were asking for humane treatment of all migrants and refugees in the region. After I go released, I have suffered heavy harassment by both the militias and the UNHCR staffs who would have deliberately silenced us for number of years and persons like me documenting and speaking up against such inhumane treatment are immediately prosecuted and hindered from all the basic services offered by the UNHCR. Now I am always in danger for fear of my life.

I am from Sudan, born in Orum village, West Darfur state. I left the country in 2017 because of the war and then to Chad as a refugee for a short period and then to Libya. I entered into the general psyche and here it seemed the story of my suffering where I was exposed Before the injuries, beatings and looting, we protested as refugees, but the Libyan government refused, and we were transferred to Ain Zara and Tariq-Al-Sikka prison. It is one of the worst types of torture and treatment. From that period I decided to cross by sea once, but the Libyan coast guard took me back to prison and I escaped. Even on the streets, I am afraid of injuries and even of citizens bullying and racism of all kinds, so we ask the Human Rights Watch for a safe place other than Libya.

I left my country because of the lack of security, peace and education in my country. It cannot live as peacefully as you imagine people living. I just want to live like the world lives in terms of luxury, education, work, and the right to roam. From the 10th of January 2022, we were imprisoned in Ain Zara for 18 months.

That time was a very difficult bad period. I lost my mother in that war. In 2011, I went to Khartoum capital city of Sudan to look for safety place but there was no peace at all. I went back to Zalinge in 2014, but killing was happening in Darfur, genocide, no safety no peace. In 2021, I travel to Chad then to Libya to Look for safety place but it was very dangerous and difficult. I went to UNHCR asking for help but nothing happened, we even spent 3 months and 10 days in front of its office throughout 2021 and early 2022. UNHCR did not give us any help at that time. Then UNHCR and government of Libya came together at night and took us to the Ainzara prison. We spent 18 months no medication no food and faced a lot of challenges. And now we are out of prison. We are not feeling safe we are in dangerous situations anywhere around Libya. We really need help necessary.

I was displaced due to the events in Darfur in 2003, to Korma camp, then to Refugee camps in Chad, then refugee camps in Niger in 2016, and after that I went to Libya in 2018. In Libya due to the degrading treatment, I tried to cross the Mediterranean Sea five times but each time I was pushed back by the Italian Coast Guards and at times I was pulled back by the so-called Libyan Coast Guards. After each violent interception, I was arrested and detained arbitrarily in prisons like Bir al-Ghanam - Sikka - Ain Zara. Most my time in Libya I lived in Gargaresh and in early October 2021 we were raided by militias and security forces affiliated to the ministry of interior. It was the most brutal and inhumane act we received from state authorities, I was rounded up with other thousands of people and put in an overcrowded hangars in the tobacco factory famously known as Al-Mabani. A week later we organized a protest to be released which was later proclaimed to be a riot. During the escape, dozens of us were shot by the security guards of the DCIM and those of us who managed to escape joined the self- organized protests at the Community Day Center in front of the UNHCR headquarters in Saraj. As I joined the resistance committee in demanding a better treatment, I was personally targeted during the 100 days peaceful protest until the day we were evicted. We were arrested by the Libyan government and locked up in Ain Zara prison as a punishment for our human rights work. Not only that, but I was also forced as a slave to work without pay for 18 months, after which I was released by the UNHCR Commission in early July 2023 thanks to the unwavering advocacy of our comrades like David Yambio who in the meanwhile arrived in Europe. To this day after my release I continue to speak up against inhumane treatment of Migrants and Refugees and for the reason I not only receive threats from the government but a complete disregard from the UNHCR which should be advocating for us.” While in Ainzara prison, I organized hunger-strikes and engaged the UNFAIR CAMPAIGN which was organized by our comrades in Geneva 2022 10th of December against the unfair treatment and passiveness of the UNHCR.

They referred me to Dahaba dispensaries and informed me that they could not provide me with treatment. The situation of the country is not any good. I asked for protection from the Commission for 3 months in front of the UNHCR Commission, but we were only imprisoned in Ain Zara since the 10th of January 2022. People from an organization came to me on the 14th of February 2022, mainly for treatment, a civilized place, and assistance, but I did not get treatment. I called several times, no response. 6/8/2023. I went to Al-Nasr Street 00218910347365 and they transferred me to Tripoli Hospital for burns and plastic surgery. After much suffering, I met a specialist doctor and decided to have the operation scheduled for me. 16/8/2023. I called several times and he did not return my calls. When I went to the neighborhood parking lot, I informed them of my condition. They told me the day of the test and the day of the operation. They asked me to pay for the operation. Call this number 00218910354839. I reported my case to the number 00218926556070 for assistance with the client’s procedures.

I was born in west Darfur El Geneina (Habila Camp) Date of entering Libya 2019. Reason for leaving Sudan and requesting asylum: Tribal wars between my tribe and other tribes living with us in the same area, which led to the killing of a family member. They started threatening death and torture. This is what made me leave my country, Sudan, to Libya to seek asylum.

Muhammad Yahya Ahmed Abdullah

Sudan

I immigrated from Sudan in 2020, at the age of 16, to Libya through smuggling in the Sahara Desert from the Triangle to Kufra. The journey was very difficult for me, and we were beaten with sticks by human traffickers. They did not take us to Kufra. Rather, we were sold in Tazarbu and we paid approximately 5000 dinars per person. Then, I came to Tripoli, the capital, to work and go to immigrate to Europe, but unfortunately we were arrested by the Libyan authorities in Qarqarash in the year 10/1/2021 to Ghout Al-Shaal prison. I was a member of the protests in front of the door of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. After three months, they did nothing for us, and we were placed in Ain Zara prison by the Libyan authorities again. I saw the worst types of torture, including hunger, humiliation, and thirst. I fell ill with the deadly tuberculosis disease in Ain Zara prison, and after a year and 7 months, we were released from Ain Zara prison and given 300 dinars and 700 food supplies. But to this day I live in perpetual fear without any future.

Sudan

I am from Sudan, born in West Darfur state, in Tumbuka village. I left my country in January 2020 and the reason for leaving was for military and security reasons. I entered Libya in February 2020 and tried the sea once, but I failed. In Libya, I faced several violations. I was arrested in many prisons, in Bani Walid prison by human traffickers, and I paid a ransom of 5,000 Libyan dinars and got out of it and was arrested at Harawa Gate, but I succeeded in escaping from them after two days of torture and physical exploitation with compulsory hard labor. In 2021, I was arrested from our sit-in camp that we established in October 2021, and I stayed in Ain Zara prison for a year and a half, and I was released in July 2023. My life is still in danger because all of Libya is unsafe.

Abdul Ghani Muhammad Haroun Daqis

Sudan

I was born in North Darfur state in the Kutum region. I left my country in 2019 due to war, violations and terrorization, especially of women and children, forced displacement from villages, burning them, the theft of property, the killing of lives, and the violation of honor. I tried to cross the sea 3 times, but every time I was returned to the Ghawat Shaal prison. Then we needed 3 months before the Commission, then we were forcibly expelled from the Ain Zara prison for 18 months, and violations in the Ain Zara prison for 18 months, and random kidnapping from the militias.

I am from Sudan by nationality. I was born in a small village. My country was betrayed by the war. I arrived in Libya in November 20220, I tried to cross the sea 3 times, but each time I was intercepted and returned to Libyan prisons. I endured great adversity in 2021, I was part of the self-organized movement of refugees in Libya. We were sheltered for 3 months, then we were forcibly expelled and thrown into Nazara for 18 months, where I was subjected to enslavement and abuse. Al Jasmiya for Human Rights, and now I wander the streets of Libya, my life is always in danger of being kidnapped by militias and traffickers of random human beings.

Sudan

I am of Sudanese origin, and I was born in Khartoum, east of the Nile, Haj Youssef From the Misseriya and Borno people I used to live in Port Sudan And in 2019 It was the beginning of the war between the Beni Amer and the Nuba, and our house was burned in the Airport District area, square 29. Next to Arquette Primary School and Naseebah Secondary School for Girls We came to Khartoum after our house was burned We returned to Port Sudan on 9/22/2019 And on 8/2020 The war broke out for the second time in Port Sudan, but it was severe. Many people were killed and houses were burned with gasoline bottles My husband worked in the big market and had a place for mobile phones, and it was completely burned. Some of the Beni Amer came to my house, and I was burned in my left leg, and my leg was mutilated until now, burning it with plastic bags, stealing the house, and then burning it, and we fled to Khartoum. In the month of 10, we obtained a passport and left Khartoum on 2020. /18/10 We went to Cairo. A group came and threatened my husband, and he was imprisoned in Agouza prison in Cairo. We were not able to register with the Commission at that time due to the presence of these people in Cairo. In the year 2023/6/22, I, Fatima Adam, registered with the Commission’s office, and I had with me my child, Areej Hamdi Ali Adam. She was one year and a month old. We registered with the UNHCR, and I and my child were not protected. When I gave birth to my daughter, Arwa Hamdi. We are faced with problems, and we cannot return to Sudan, and my husband is sick. We came to Libya through smuggling, and we were robbed and raped by the smugglers in front of my young children and my husband. After 8 days, they decided to restrict us and enter Tobruk and then to Ajdabiya. All of this, we lived in the streets with my children until we were able to enter Tripoli. On 11/27/2023, we were able to enter the Commission’s headquarters to register and we were given the Commission’s document, but we were not able to raise our problem. To the employee, and we were unable to provide protection for me and my children, and I live in a place where there are many militias, which is Qarqarash, because it is the cheapest place, but it is not safe for me and my children. If the Commission is unable to help us, we will go to the sea to live a safe life for me and my young children. Yes, it is scary and difficult, but it is better than living in Libya with the torment of the militias that block our path every day.

Ahmed El-Obaid Adam Jumaa

Sudan

The reason that prompted us to emigrate is the brutal war and the ongoing battles in the country that did not leave young or old behind, and everyone we hold dear has been lost in this war. Our region has been subjected to an attack by one of the Rapid Support Forces of Commander Sharia, who killed innocent people and looted money and cars, and in it we lost everything we owned and we fled to... We lived in the open air for three months, during which we suffered from eating and drinking. We drank from the stagnant autumn water, and from there we decided to seek refuge in the state of Libya by land. On our way to the city of Al-Nahud, we were subjected to looting by an unruly group. They threatened us with weapons and took away from us a bag containing all our possessions. Including documents belonging to my son Muhammad and a driver’s license belonging to me. Thank God, we continued on our way to the Triangle and then to Kufra, Libya: We ask the High Commission to help us. Thank you.
