Malaysia: 105 Women Forced to Work as Slaves Rescued

Malaysia: 105 Women Forced to Work as Slaves Rescued

December 4 , 2012

Malaysian authorities have rescued 105 women, most of them from Indonesia and over a dozen from Philippines and Cambodia, who were forced to work as domestic workers without official permits, as reported in this capital.

Immigration Department sources indicated that the victims were working without pay for a cleaning agency that led them to houses during the day and at night kept them locked in a building.

Those women, who traveled to Malaysia with the promise of a secure job and a monthly salary, will be repatriated to their countries because they have no work permit.

During the raid, authorities arrested 12 people involved in the network.
