East African (mostly Eritrean) refugees are being held captive and enslaved. Children, women and men are shackled in chains for many months with minimal to no food or sustenance. They are barely kept alive until their family overseas are willing to pay their ransom. Many of those, whose family are not able to provide the ransom payment are subjected to torture and their organs harvested while being subdued for illigal organ trade and left for dead. Women and young girls are being gang-raped. Some of these women have felt it intolerable to keep living and have chosen to commit suicide. There are many more videos on YouTube on the matter. A word of warning: some of these videos may be disturbing to the viewer. View at your discretion. CNN’s documentary is the most detailed one and can be watched on YouTube in parts. Just search for ‘CNN Freedom Project : Death In The Desert’ on YouTube.
