Original Note:
The photo (c. 2011) is of a man believed to be from Niger Republic, who was violently interrogated and accused of being a mercenary for the Libyan leader, Moammar Gadhafi. While indicative of anti-black racism, it’s NOT EVIDENCE of slavery. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/amp/news/world/why-black-africans-are-paying-the-price-for-the-real-or-perceived-use-of-mercenaries-in-libya/article569969/
