"human traffickers" harvesting the organs of refugees
Desperate migrants fleeing war-ravaged countries are having their organs harvested by ruthless traffickers if they are unable to pay sky-high travel costs, a former smuggler has revealed.
He said those who could not pay for the journey were sold to an Egyptian criminal gang for $15,000 (£11,250) where their organs were harvested and used in illegal transplants.
"The Egyptians arrived with equipment for the extraction of organs and for transporting them in cool bags."
In February, the former people smuggler was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in the operation.
Amnesty International's report on Friday unveiled the true horror from victims of sexual violence, religious persecution and torture on the illegal routes from Libya into Europe.
Magdalena Mughrabi, Interim Deputy Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Amnesty International said: "From being abducted, incarcerated underground for months and sexually abused. Refugees and migrants have described in harrowing detail the horrors they were forced to endure in Libya."
