Re: 'Slaves' freed from gypsy camp

Quote:
Three women rescued from a house after allegedly being held as slaves for 30 years were kept in "horrific conditions", a charity has said.

Freedom Charity said it had been called by a woman who said she and two others were being held in south London.

A Malaysian woman, 69, an Irish woman, 57, and a Briton, 30, were rescued on 25 October, it emerged on Thursday.

A 67-year-old man and woman, understood to be married, were arrested in Lambeth and later bailed until January.

Appalling but the tip of an iceberg I reckon, especially in certain communities.

Perhaps a friendly passing Mod could alter the thread title to something more general and appropriate e.g. Modern Slavery or something similar.
