A total of 167 irregular Bangladeshi migrants have been repatriated from Libya under the joint initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Bangladesh Embassy in Tripoli, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Among them, 16 were from Benghazi and surrounding areas, while 151 were held at the Ganfouda Detention Center. Most had entered Libya via the Mediterranean, lured by promises of reaching Europe, but instead faced abduction and abuse. Upon return, IOM provided each returnee with Tk 6,000 in cash, food, medical care, and temporary shelter if needed.
