The report presents 30 testimonies from migrants who were expelled from Tunisia to Libya between June 2023 and November 2024, highlighting a salient feature which appears in their accounts: the sale of human beings at the border by Tunisian police and military apparatuses as well as the interconnection between the infrastructure behind expulsions and the kidnapping industry in Libyan prisons. In this sense, the report documents events and situations which in the social sciences and international law are classified as "state crimes".
This is a story not to pass on. It involves all of us as EU citizens and taxpayers.
