300 migrants bound for UK kidnapped in Libya and threatened with kidney removal

More than 300 migrants heading to the UK last summer were kidnapped, tortured and threatened with forced organ removal, the BBC has learned.

The young men, all from Iraqi Kurdistan, were captured in Libya by a militia who demanded a ransom of $5,000 (£3,700) from each of their families, and threatened to harvest the captives' kidneys if payment was not made promptly.

We have spoken to some hostages who have since been released, and seen photo evidence suggesting that forced operations did take place.

The former captives showed us evidence of torture, and said they had been kept in cramped conditions, with nearly 180 people sharing a cell.

At least one hostage is known to have died, and it is unclear how many remain captive.

1. WTF?

This is beyond cruelty.
These are monsters

2. It could happen here. In our ICE captivity camps.

Once people are warehoused, plans are proposed to make their operations self-supporting, productive, or actual profit centers.

The degree to which these plans are developed depend upon who is in charge. Body parts are in demand worldwide.

3. I had the same throat

I would put it past this evil administration to harvest organs for profit ( his of course) !

4. The number of people unable to be tracked...

…seems to be growing. Children separated, people sent to third, uninvolved countries and others, many having had their dna charted, would appear to be at extreme risk.
