The Criminal Court of Tripoli convicted the three of human trafficking, detaining, and torturing migrants, and extorting their families to pay ransom to release their relatives, according to a statement Friday by the office of Libya's chief processor.
The statement didn't reveal further details including their identities or nationalities. General Prosecutor al-Sediq al-Sourr was not immediately available for comment on Saturday. Human traffickers have benefited from the instability in Libya and smuggled migrants through the country's lengthy border with six nations. They then pack desperate people into ill-equipped rubber boats and other vessels in risky voyages on the Central Mediterranean Sea route.
