Ghana/ Libya: Ghana defends rights of illegal immigrants in Libya

The minister for the Interior, Papa Owusu Ankoma stated that the government of Ghana had received complaints by many Ghanaian nationals on their treatment abroad. This in particular included Ghanaians who by some reasons were repatriated, suffering various humiliations including being flown in cargo flights without humane facilities, seizure of their passports, imprisonment without trials and others. Most complaints had been received from Ghanaians expelled from Libya.
