SOLROUTES is pleased to share the upcoming ESCAPES Research Reports seminar, Tratta di Stato. Economie dell’espulsione, del sequestro e del lavoro schiavo alla frontiera tunisino-libica, taking place online on 6 November 2026 from 16:00 to 18:00 (CET).

The seminar will discuss the political economies of expulsion, detention, trafficking, and forced labour at the Tunisia-Libya border, drawing on recent research documented in the report State Trafficking.

The event will be introduced by Enrico Fravega and Luca Queirolo Palmas (University of Genoa), together with Roberta Derosas (Melting Pot Project). It will feature discussions with Majdi Karbai, former member of the Tunisian Parliament currently in exile, and Nancy Porsia, journalist, writer, and documentary filmmaker specialising in the MENA region, the Mediterranean, and human trafficking.
