In the hell of the Libyan detention camps: “When they beat you, they hear you scream and laugh”

Ehiss is in her thirties and doesn’t like talking about the past. It reminds him of too many painful things. But tonight, aboard the Geo Barents, after the other Nigerians disembarked, he found himself again without anyone from his community. Surrounded by people who speak Arabic (the language of the Libyans), he rethought everything he experienced in the last three years: the escape with Miracle, the horror of the shipwreck, the detention centers, the violence, the friends, the survival , the bitterness.
