Ruthless
traffickers exploit human suffering
“The
two main routes of smuggling of migrants to Europe and North America
generate nearly $7 billion a year to the smuggling networks,
according to an estimate today released by the United Nations Office
on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).”
“'Terrible
tragedies are occurring daily as vulnerable women, children and men,
place their trust in criminals to smuggle them across national
borders,' UNODC Executive Director Yury Fedotov said in Vienna at a
conference focusing on the cooperation needed to confront criminals.”
“More
than 40,000 migrants since 2000 have died making hazardous journeys
to a new life, according to a recent report by the International
Organization for Migration (IOM).”
