On Sunday, authorities in Italy investigated the source of 26 teenage girls bodies found dead. Said to be immigrants of Niger/Nigeria sailing to Europe, these girls ranged from age 14-18. Lorena Ciccotti is going to carry out autopsies Tuesday to find out if the teens were tortured and or sexually abused. The bodies were found floating nearby a small boat while survivors were holding on to the ship remains. Over 400 people have been brought back to the Italian port town of Salerno, and there were 4 separate rescues.
This brings me to think of the Atlantic Slave Trade, through the middle passage. For them, the trip was long and painful, with abuse from sailors. With over 10 million being transported, it was already one person on the other crammed together. Also they starved the slaves leading to thousands dying.
It's not fair that things like this happen, these people and especially these young ladies didn't deserve the abuse on the way to Europe. The bad people in the world cause so many issues, and that's all the news mainly cares about, the bad. If the world wasn't such a dangerous place, then it would be safe to travel even a couple miles to the store.
