"This how we sit when we are transported. This is how we sit in Libya; we don’t go out. In the truck. Always. In the Lampadusa [boat] this is how we sit for the whole journey.
They are moving you from here to here, and this is how you have to sit, so many people together. In this position it is very bad. It is like being a slave.
In the boat, if I had fallen in I would never had survived."
