Many of the Eritrean migrants
rescued by coast guard ship Diciotti have said they suffered
torture and were sold several times during their journeys to
Italy, sources said Wednesday.
They reportedly suffered years of violence, while some were
held underground in a warehouse, and sold two or three times,
and 16 children who died after four or five months were born
during the detention, they said.
The picture of abuse has emerged from accounts told to
interviewers from the Mondo Migliore (Better World) migrant
centres at Rocca di Papa near Rome, where they are staying
before being moved around Italy.
