Fight Against The Rising Of The Barbaric Slave Trade In Libya

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

A current enslavement of 700,000+ migrants/refugees from West Africa. Men,women and children are presently enduring horrific inhuman conditions. I implore that the UK government report the suffering and exploitation on a global scale, interfere quickly, in order to abolish history repeating itself.
There is a lack of acknowledgement, awareness and overall attention regarding the enslavement of Black Africans in Libya, as they fail to escape the brutality of the auctions that they've been subject to. (Selling human beings for as little as $400). We need to showcase consciousness for such injustice. #FightforLibya
