Muslim animals still practicing slavery today:
Current incidences of large-scale slavery and near-slavery:
Sudan: There is considerable evidence that slavery is still practiced in a large scale in
Sudan -- an estimated 14,000 people have been abducted since 1983. However, the existence of slavery is denied by the Sudanese government. Some western religious groups have attempted to buy freedom for individual slaves. Unfortunately, this has become counterproductive. It increases the profitability of enslavement as a commercial enterprise, and results in more slaves being created.
More details.
Niger: Anti-Slavery International reported in mid-2003 that slavery is rampant in Niger, mostly in the southwestern Tillaberry region of that country.
7 This occurs even though slavery is prohibited by the constitution and is being fought by stringent new laws. About 7% of the population -- some 870,000 individuals are condemned to life-long servitude. Many are born into slavery and will remain slaves all of their life.
Programs of near-slavery: Anti-Slavery International (ASI)presented a paper to the
United Nations Working Group on Contemporary Forms of Slavery which met in Geneva, Switzerland, 2003-JUN-16 to 20.
8 All of the major offending countries cited have large Muslim majorities. ASI discussed the situation in Sudan and Niger as well as describing situations of near-slavery such as:
United Arab Emirates -- Child trafficking: Although it is illegal to employ a child under the age of 15, hundreds of boys between four and ten are trafficked from South Asia to the UAE
Nepal and Pakistan -- Millions of men, women and children are used as forced and bonded labor in these countries.
Indonesia -- Forced labor and exploitation of migrant workers. "
Poverty and lack of opportunity in Indonesia have increased the number of Indonesians seeking work in Asia. Indonesia's lack of protection and the Government's existing system for women migrant domestics exposes them to trafficking and slavery."
