"The number of people, mainly adults but including children, reported trafficked from Vietnam to Scotland continues to rise," Detective Superintendent Filippo Capaldi, head of the Scotland police’s national human trafficking unit, said. "Many of these people will have come to Scotland, and the U.K., under false promises of a better life, only to find themselves victims of exploitation by criminal gangs." This year 397 referrals have been received by the unit, half about Vietnamese victims, 90 of them ostensibly minors. It represents a 20 percent increase from last year. The victims of trafficking or smuggling usually do not contact the police directly but come to their attention in other ways. "One of them is to be reported to the police by either members of the public or other agencies," Brenda Irons-Roberts, a communications officer in the police department, said. She declined to discuss details about individuals with whom the police are dealing since they are potential victims … [Read more...] about Scotland sets up anti-child trafficking unit as number of Vietnamese victims rises

She was described as 1.5 meters tall and weighing around 46 kilograms. Thin asked the Nghen People's Committee to verify that he is My’s father, in order to initiate legal procedures to identify and bring his daughter’s body back to Vietnam.
