Sklavenmarkt in Libyen gefilmt

Footage released by CNN shows men being sold at an auction in Libya.

The footage shows an auctioneer standing in front of a group of young men, shouting: “Big strong boys for farm work. 400? 700? 800?”

CNN traveled to Libya to verify the authenticity of the footage. There, they secretly filmed an auction outside the Libyan capital of Tripoli.

Referred to as “merchandise,” the men being sold into slavery were migrants and refugees. Twelve Nigerian men were sold at the auction.

Israel has sent a pointed signal to the Assad regime and Iran — and to the regime’s other essential ally Russia — with a missile strike on a military base near al-Qiswa, about 13 km (8 miles) southwest of Syria’s capital Damascus.

Unconfirmed claims said that Iranian and Iranian-led militiamen were among casualties of the strike, with assertions that five missiles. Syrian state media said its air defenses intercepted at least two Israeli missiles fired at a government “military position” in Damascus province, but that the attack still caused damage.

Die Situation im größten Flüchtlingslager in Lesbos verschlechtert sich zusehends. Eine Bericht:

There are a total of near 8,500 refugees in Lesvos, which has been taking the greater number of refugees among the Greek islands. More than 6,000 have to reside in Moria, which has a capacity for only a bit over than 2,000.

The refugees complain that there are no proper toilets or bathrooms. They are filthy, says Syrian refugee Hassan Aloulou.
