(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Five Asians have been referred to court by the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution to stand trial on charge of human trafficking.
The five accused allegedly kidnapped two Asian women, belonging to different nationalities, and took them forcibly from Abu Dhabi to Dubai to force them into flesh trade.
Investigations showed that the two victims knew each other. After one of them absconded from her sponsor, she called the other woman and went to live with her where she lived with her boyfriend.
On the day of the incident, the accused kidnapped the absconder while she was leaving her workplace and forced her to get into a car and drove her to their residence. The kidnappers, posed as CID officers, told her boyfriend that she stole a sum of Dh1,000 from the other woman and they were there to arrest her. The accused took the absconder by force to Dubai where she was sold to somebody for Dh2,500.
However, the other victim's friend called her brother, telling him about the incident, after which the victim's brother reported the matter to the police.
Later, the absconder was arrested from a brothel where she was found with 23 others, women and men of Asian nationality. She told the police that she refused to have sex with the men who were arrested from the brothel.
Giving her testimony, the other woman said she was coerced to accompany the kidnappers to her friend's house and they tried to sell her but they failed to do so. They took her back to Abu Dhabi and dropped her on a peripheral road, she said.
