Another boat accident off the Mediterranean coast has left at least seven Pakistani migrants dead, with reports that another 58 migrants were on board.

According to Pakistani broadcaster Samaa news on February 11th, ten bodies have been recovered following the capsize of a boat near the Libyan city of Zawiya.

The accident follows the arrest of alleged Pakistani human trafficker Adbul Ghaffar, who is thought to have presided over the January boat tragedy, which killed around 50 people including several Pakistanis.
