(CNN)Canada has announced it will take in 750 refugees from Libya, some rescued from migrant detention centers.
Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said in a statement that Canada had already resettled more than 150 people, with another 600 anticipated to arrive in the next two years. Two years ago, CNN revealed video footage that showed migrants being sold into slavery in Libya, some for as little as $400 each. It caused an international outcry, with the UN Security Council condemning the sale of migrants as "heinous abuses of human rights."
Announcing Canada's move, Hussen said: "In 2017, the world was shocked to see the harrowing images of people being sold into slavery in Libya.
"In response to the situation, Canada was one of the few countries to step up to work with the UNHCR [the UN refugee agency] to resettle these refugees directly from Libya and offer them a new home in Canada." He added that Canada would also resettle 100 refugees from Niger, rescued from Libyan migrant detention centers, including victims of human smuggling.
Libya is a major transit point for migrants from Africa on their way to Europe. But they are vulnerable to exploitation, and as well as being sold into slavery some have been abducted and tortured to extort a payment for their release. There are an estimated 4,900 refugees and migrants still held in Libyan detention centers, including 3,600 in need of international protection, according to UNHCR. "They're enduring nightmarish conditions," a spokesman for the agency told CNN. "The use of detention is routine for people intercepted and rescued at sea, but there have been widespread reports of human rights violations, detainees being given insufficient food, insufficient access to healthcare, as well as allegations from former detainees of torture and sexual assault taking place."

Lib/Neocon brought slavery back to Africa in order to prevent Qaddafi from "massacring his own people".
We need to build a Northern Wall too .
It’s time to let the Kanucks to stew in their own brew
Canada is being betrayed by the people who should be protecting her.
Well...that cant be good.
they will live to regert it
Seeds of destruction...
Importing an illiterate, abused mob into a western nation is not going to end well. We should have learned a lesson with the Somalians, but Trudeau keeps doubling down on stupid.
Canada needs more rapeugees.
Prime Minister Mini Me gets smaller by the day.
So will we.
Yeah, but there will be more of those hip and cool social problems like they have in other countries with oversized minority populations. There will be many new government programs to “integrate” them, and a bunch of new jobs in the important industries of social services, policing, “youth diversion programs”, bilingual education, welfare administration, etc. There will be government money, pats on the back, and angry screeching at conservatives for decades to come. It’s like heaven for leftists.
All those refugees should be shoved up Hillarys fat ass.
“We came, we saw, he died! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!”
southern border patrol cops should just hand out oneway bus tickets to Vancouver or Toronto or Ottawa. Probably cheaper than a wall. Theyll love the weather.
When a Canadian nightclub or shopping mall becomes the next carnage featured at the top of the Daily Mail, remember the floating eyebrow, and how he’s a better judge of character than you.
It seems to me we should move people in who would have a chance at melding into our society, both the U. S. and Canada.
The people from Libya have a right to seek out a better life, but with their religious idiosyncrasies, it just seems impossible for them to move into and meld into a mostly Christian nation.
We know it will cause friction. We know it will be disruptive to our current society.
This has no rational argument, that could make it seem sensible.
YOU”LL BE SOOORRRYYYYYY!!
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch. Go on You Tube sometime and see what Canadians really think of us.
I think once Canada brings in these 750 people, Libya will be fixed.
In similar news, I’ve read that Norway is going to fix Sudan by bringing in 900 migrants from that country.
Such brilliant and virtuous leaders we have in the West.
What could possibly go wrong?
The Northern Islamic Aircraft Carrier is adding troops.
