'Libyans, armed and hooded, picked us up in the desert' – testimony of a Guinean in Tunisia
Last November, Augustin (first name was changed) and around 50 migrants were allegedly arrested by police in Tunisia. After hours of driving in the middle of the desert, they were handed over to Libyan forces in the middle of the night, then sent to a prison in the suburbs of Tripoli. To get out, the 33-year-old Guinean said he had to pay 800 euros. Augustin contacted the InfoMigrants editorial team to share his story.
