United Arab Emirates: Selling immigrants into sex slavery
Raed Rafei writes on the LA Times blog:
She came all the way from Eastern Europe to treat her daughter’s asthma. Instead, once in Dubai, the 27-year-old Moldavian woman found out that she was lured into the city to literally be sold as a sex slave.
Her Ukrainian friend had actually planned to offer her to a local for nearly $8,000. A few days ago, this case was brought to a court in Dubai, where the 36-year-old Ukrainian broker was charged with sexual exploitation, according to media reports. But this is likely only the tip of the iceberg of human trafficking to the Persian Gulf . . .

America you’d better wake up. Has it ever crossed your minds that a lot of our children that come up missing may have been sent to one of those foreign country’s to be slaves. Keep your children close and know where they are all the time, even if they don’t want you to know.
