Libya: A Human Marketplace
This Carmignac Prize's catalogue brings together a testimony on the situation of migrants and human traffic in Libya. Â The 7th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award has been awarded to Mexican photojournalist Narciso Contreras. In the heart of post-Gaddafi Libya, Contreras lays bare an unfolding humanitarian crisis in which illegal migrants, refugees and asylum seekers are at the mercy of militias who exploit them for financial gain. Â Held in detention centres for illegal migrants, they are subjected to inhumane conditions including overcrowding, lack of sanitation and vicious beatings. Throughout this report, Contreras weaves a compelling narrative to show how, instead of being a place of transit for migrants on their way to Europe, Libya has actually become a trafficking market where people are bought and sold on a daily basis.
