IJM Field Report, April 20, 2008

International Justice Mission (IJM) reported the following concerning 12 freed slaves in India. Here is an excerpt.

The kiln owners had trafficked 12 laborers and their families, including small children, across state lines and enslaved them in the abusive working conditions of the kiln. As is common in the practice of modern-day slavery, the owners and operators of the kiln had lured the victims to the kiln with promise of cash advances, regular wages and housing.
