Libya frees UN-sanctioned human trafficker
By EUobserver
Libya has freed a man under UN sanctions for trafficking and drowning migrants, Abd al-Rahman Milad, due to "lack of evidence" in his trial, The Guardian reports. "It's absurd Italy gives money to Libya's coastguard - [a] country that released a trafficker who threatened two Italian citizens," Nello Scavo, one of two Italian journalists under police protection after being threatened by al-Rahman Milad because they wrote articles about him, said.
