A bunch of youths, who recently returned to Punjab from Libya, on Tuesday claimed that they had been sold by their agents for $3,000 each. In the present case, the youths claimed that after being sold, they were kept as hostages inside a company and were made to work like slaves. As per details, all the youths had gone there to work as labour at the LCC Cement Company located in Benghazi, Libya. However, soon after reaching Libya they found that they had been sold to the company by their agent. The company, in turn the youths claimed, forced them to work for over 18 hours, sometimes without even giving them food or water.
