Migrants Sold as Slaves in Libya

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We hear the plight of Ghanaians who say they were sold as slaves in Libya. The BBC's Thomas Nadi reports from Accra, Ghana, and we get reaction from Roberto Mignoni, the UNHCR's representative to Libya. Also in the programme, we have a series of reports from Japan, examining the declining reputation of corporate Japan, following a number of scandals, and finding out why more women aren't making progress in the country's workforce. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories, with Hugo Greenhalgh of the Financial Times in London, and Jamie Heller of the Wall Street Journal in New York.
