A victim of the Libyan migrant slave trade describes the horrors of being trapped in a horrific cycle of imprisonment, forced labour and torture.

Migrants who reach Libya are being exploited by slave traders and being sold in public markets. An ordeal that often sees people held in prison, tortured for ransom, and sold into painful labour or debt slavery.

Informer is a series where we hear the anonymised confessions and insights of people on the inside of different industries, institutions and events.
