Terrible images of the torture of refugees the Pope wanted to see are published

Torture, martyring, humiliated, tied and hung by ropes like the salami hangs. Paradoxically, death represents a release for African prisoners at the detention centres in Libya, which some still insist to consider to be “safe field”.

The stories of survivors are not enough to make us understand the daily horror across the Mediterranean. Pope Francis wanted to see for himself what is impossible to conceive of only thoughts.

Exactly like pictures taken in Nazi concentration camps: necessary, in their grief, because otherwise no one would have believed what man could accomplish in the last century alone.

I saw a video in which you see what happens to those who return,” Bergoglio told reporters, returning from Ireland. “The most sophisticated traffickers and tortures have been taken.”

A video shows a naked young man in tears playing hard to deal with, adding to the savagery of the guards laughing at him as they beat him. It's five against a guy who kicks, punching his face before it's ugly with a knife. That's the terrible truth. This is the fate of those who are rejected on the ship.
