A video showing migrants being tortured by human traffickers in Libya went viral on social media following a report by CNN showing footage of migrants being sold as slaves there.

The last two scenes of the video shows migrants being subjected to unprecedented torture and brutality.

A migrant who was completely stripped of his clothes cries out in pain as the trafficker burns a plastic bottle and drips hot plastic on his body. The migrants body shows several scars and burns. Another stands on his head using insulting language telling him to look up at the camera.

The second video shows an armed man asking a number of half-naked migrants to show their faces to the camera after they were obviously beaten as the scars and bruises show on their bodies. Some are not moving at all and appear to be dead.

The time and exact place where this happened is still unknown. However, the armed man wearing winter clothes and his accent give an idea.

Thousands of migrants pass through Libya hoping to reach Europe, but they are caught by traffickers and put up for sale as slaves in auctions. Most have sold their life savings to go on this journey.

A recent clampdown by the Libyan coastguard has decreased the number of boats making it to the country, leaving smugglers shorthanded, according to CNN. This is how the slavery trade there became popular.

Libya is one of the most popular countries in which human smuggling networks operate through a wide desert border with African countries. When migrants reach its north coast, they are smuggled across the sea in boats known as death boats.

Ironically this is all the doing of Obama, our first black president. Under Gaddafi, Libya was the richest country in Africa and was a popular place for sub-Saharan Africans to immigrate to. Gaddafi was trying to create a Bank of Africa to help the continent. All thanks to Obama, Libya is now in shambles economically. And a lot of sub-Saharan Africans there are being enslaved and tortured.

Yes that’s correct. And, Muslims have been the chief slave traders of especially black people - for centuries. Including many of the slaves sent to America, and elsewhere

Torture and slavery? But are they going to deport them? I hear that is the real crime against humanity.

Gaddafi was a quintessential dictator, and many Libyans are glad he is dead, but once he gave up WMD and terrorism, he was no longer a threat to the USA.

Obama and Clinton had him assassinated for, IMHO, still obscure reasons - probably part of their “Arab Spring” attempt to anoint the Muslim Brotherhood as their new agents to the Muslim world.

Obama and Clinton have killed hundreds of thousands in Libya, and launched a “refugee” wave of 2-3 million more.

As I side note, I now HATE the Nobel Committee for their total political hypocrisy, in giving this fool a “Peace Price.”

Gaddafi was a quintessential dictator,.....That is the ONLY way to have peace in the Middle East. Isreal has hoped to have peace but the tribes will not allow it.

An honest media would remind viewers how these same Muslims were responsible for the TransAtlantic Slave Trade to the Americas. But opening minds like that can be dangerous.

Example No. 6,789 of why the United Nations is completely useless. But I’m sure the UN has all the time and resources in the world to dream up more resolutions against Israel, as they continue to ignore the most serious human rights abuses around the world.

This is horrible, and should lead the news cycle - but won’t.
