Contact Admin. Three men were recently arrested in Dubai for their involvement in a human trafficking case. It all started when a year-old girl had been approached by her "friend" in Bangladesh, who told her she's guaranteed a job at a massage parlor in Dubai. The men welcomed her at the airport, arranged a passport for the victim in which she appeared older, and then took her to a two-bedroom flat in Bur Dubai.
Three other women were inside the apartment. After refusing to do so, one man told her that she must work to repay them for the expenses made to bring her to the UAE. I kept crying and was sick for a week. They locked the doors at night so I couldn't escape," she said, according to Gulf News.
In April, one "customer" gave her the phone number of a police officer in the city so that she could report her case. Once she reported the case, the police raided the flat, rescued the girl, and arrested the men. Two of them have since admitted to the charges against them. However, one failed to attend court.
The three men were charged with "human trafficking and running a brothel. The woman, identified as a Kyrgyz national, was one of two who were lured to Dubai after the security guard offered them jobs as domestic helpers and forced into prostitution shortly after being picked up from the airport.
