A Libyan court sentenced two Syrian defendants to eight years after they deliberately detained the freedom of three illegal immigrants of Egyptian nationality and demanded a ransom in exchange for their release.

The Office of the Public Prosecutor in Libya announced that the Syrian immigrants illegally detained the freedom of three Egyptian immigrants, with the aim of forcing their families to pay sums of money in exchange for their release.

In its last session, the Tripoli Court of Appeal ruled to convict the defendants, and issued an eight-year prison sentence. It also ordered the return of the benefits that the defendants obtained from the crime.

The situation in Libya is witnessing great complexity and challenges, including the problem of illegal migration across the Mediterranean, as many parties are making efforts to address this complex and dangerous problem.

Italy is considered one of the European countries that is greatly affected by the influx of illegal immigrants, and this prompts it to put pressure on other countries such as Tunisia and Libya to take more effective measures to prevent the influx of immigrants.

The United Nations has recorded more than 20,000 deaths and disappearances in the central Mediterranean since 2014, making it the most dangerous migrant crossing in the world.
