Libya deports 142 migrants back home to Guinea 0

Libya put 142 illegal migrants on a flight back to Guinea on Wednesday with the help of the UN migration agency, officials said, as the North African country steps up deportations to ease severe overcrowding in its detention centers.

The International Organization for Migration flew the Guinean migrants from two western cities – Zewara and Zawya – to the city of Misrata, from where they boarded a plane for Conakry.
