28 Migrants Discovered Dead in Libya Mass Grave

At least 28 migrant bodies have been discovered in a mass grave in the southeastern Libyan desert.

The grave, located north of Kufra, was found just days after another mass grave containing 19 bodies was uncovered on a farm in the same city.

According to Libya’s attorney general, officials made the discovery during a raid on a human trafficking site, where authorities also rescued 76 migrants who had been detained and tortured.

The attorney general’s office, in a statement on Facebook, confirmed the arrest of one Libyan and two foreign nationals in connection with the crime.

“There was a gang whose members deliberately deprived illegal migrants of their freedom, tortured them, and subjected them to cruel, humiliating, and inhumane treatment,” the statement said.
