385 Pakistanis freed from traffickers’ warehouse in Libya
[Dawn] At least 385 Pak migrants colonists, held in human traffickers’ warehouses, have been freed in a law enforcement raid near the coastal city of Tobruk, in northeastern Libya.

The News Agency that Dare Not be Named re­­ported on Tuesday that the Pak nationals were released early on Monday from smugglers’ warehouses in the Al Khueir area, south of Tobruk.

According to al-Abreen, a migrants colonists’ rights group based in the Tobruk, there are at least 11 children among the freed, some less than 10 years old.

A representative for the group told Dawn that some of the rescued migrants colonists are suffering from diseases, such as scabies, and have been provided food.

The group claimed that the majority of those recovered have been sent by authorities to a facility in Qunfudhah, near the city of Benghazi, while 45 remain in army custody.

Although there was no official word from Libyan or Pak governments, it is expected that these migrants colonists will be deported.

In videos and pictures posted to al-Abreen’s Facebook page, a large group of people, ostensibly in the hundreds, can be seen sitting on the ground as people who look like volunteers and aid workers distribute food and drink. The captions indicate that the migrants colonists had not eaten for three days and lacked access to basic necessities.
