From the hell of Libya to Open Arms with the marks of torture on the body: these are the savages with which the mafia extorts before climbing the ladder

The article describes a rescue operation conducted by the Spanish NGO Open Arms in the Mediterranean, where they saved 85 people, including two women and several minors, who had been stranded on a wooden boat after their engines failed. The rescued individuals were primarily from Somalia, Bangladesh, and Egypt, having fled Libya due to instability and threats from groups like Al Shabaab. One young man, identified only as Mohamed (a pseudonym), recounted his journey from Somalia, explaining he fled after his father was killed by Al Shabaab. He expressed concern for his family’s safety and requested that his real name be used to file an official petition with the Spanish government to bring them out of Somalia. His account highlights the dangers faced by migrants fleeing conflict zones.
