In Pictures: Libya's Qanfouda Detention Center

Published December 3rd, 2017 - 10:55 GMT

Libya has been the focus of much media scrutiny recently after stories of modern-day slavery came to the attention of the world.


In the wake of the horrific news, African and European leaders agreed on a plan to evacuate those migrants stuck in Libyan detention centers and camps. 

One of those detention centers is Qanfouda, in southern Benghazi. Here, migrants are waiting to be repatriated.
