george Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Russian sex slaves in Bangkok For her, to tell the truth would mean having to live through the pain once again... .The girl looked exhausted. Her life was just starting, everything was still ahead. "Olya, where have you been all this time?!" Several months ago, her parents went to the police to report their missing daughter. Their 16-year-old Olya left home and never came back. Afterwards, she wrote a letter to her family claiming that she'd been working in one of the shops in St. Petersburg. She asked her parents to stop investigation. However, one could sense certain vibes from that letter, vibes of tremendous pain and sorrow. When the young lady has finally returned home, she continued to repeat the exact same words, claiming that she was "alright"! For her, to tell the truth would mean having to live through the pain once again. She would have to remember how she met one young southern gentleman while taking a stroll in the park. He offered her a well-paid job abroad.She would also have to remember how she left for St. Petersburg, hoping to get rich and live with the prince happily ever after. She would have to remember how she, along with several other treasure huntresses left for Thailand using fake documents; how all those fantasies of the perfect life had gone into flames the moment their airplane touched the ground of a foreign land; how their documents were confiscated and how they were told to be prostitutes and work until they will be able to pay their debt in full themselves. The debt was $5 000. This sum comprised expenses for fake documents, visas, housing, and food. They became sex slaves. On the average, each one of the girls earned $700-$800, after "taking care" of 6-7 clients per night. Sometimes, "lucky ones" managed to get up to $3 000. The girls never saw the money. All profits went straight into the "sugar daddy"s" pocket. They were fined for leaving their hotel without permission, for gaining a few extra pounds and for hiding the money. The girls needed to work extra hard in order to pay off the fine. Usually, it took young girls about 3 years to pay off their debt and return home. After three years however, their radiating beauty faded and their charm ceased to exist. They were traumatized both physically and mentally; and their masters no longer wanted them. Robbed and deceived, they returned home in terrible physical condition and mentally traumatized; they were only 15-16 years old. As for money, they barely had enough to get a ticket. Olya was "lucky". She managed to escape that foreign slum within a few months. It happened accidentally. One of "new Russians" decided to help her after hearing her story. He paid off her debt, received her documents and bought Olya a ticket home. .Underage girls were lured into sex slavery under very similar circumstances in August-September 2001. Department of Criminal Investigation of Kaluzhski region began investigating such mysterious disappearances of young girls. Olya B. was the first one to come forward and reveal the entire story to the police. Local investigators immediately went to St. Petersburg and arrested four suspects. A married couple was among them. In the end, law enforcement managed to come across a wide spread International criminal organization exporting young Russian girls abroad. Human traffic continues to blossom even in the XXI century, bringing in $7-12 billion annually. Women are the most popular commodity. According to EU, more than 120 000 of women and children from the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, including Russia become victims of human traffic every year. Overall, commodity circulation in this International slave industry involves 4 million people. In the beginning those were mainly Asian countries (mainly Thailand and Philippines) that were involved in this sort of business. After the USSR collapsed the former republics such as Ukraine, Belarus and Latvia became the main exporters of women. The problem has been in Russia for at least 10 years. About a year ago, Russian law enforcement has finally decided to seek proper solutions to the existing problem. In December 2003, two new clauses have been included in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Now, slavery will be punished with imprisonment! There are still a lot of young sex slaves who are currently living and working abroad. Alena Novikova --Source: Utro/Pravda, RU 2004-03-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Mee Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Coincidentally there was a two-hour uninterrupted program on the telly last night about the Sex Trade Industry/Slaves from Burma. Many being brought into the Issan area. Really a tragic documentary. Some of these girls were smuggled from Rangoon, Tavoy thru Mandalay into China to work for pennies - extremely harsh conditions. The Russians don't know how good they've got it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marto Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I'm curious , geroge - how did u find this article - do u regularly read that newspaper Utro or what?slavery is bad, yeah but there are many russian gals in Bkk on their own too - mostly from Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.... couple of years back while in Taiwan I've read in one newpaper that acording to official statistics only - in Asia work at least 15000 gals from Former Soviet Union - either as slaves or almost.... asian men like them a lot... and how many more are not icluded into that number - who knows? 1. Gorge is Utro's subscriber. 2. It seems some people have done some Uzbeks, but unfortunately they don't make difference between Russians and Usbeks. On my modest experience - all holes ain't one and the same... Hmmm... may be after a few drinks they are... 3. Those who had made Taiwan official statistics - may be they have the same problem which I mentioned in paragraph 2. 4. Sometime ago some people tryed to persuade me that such animal like Russian prostitute in Thailand - no way... So this thread isn't objective. 5. ###### - what language they speak in Uzbekistan???

NedKelly Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I once saw a guy on the trainstation in Butterworth literally dragging a blonde girl ......who to me looked Russian.........along the platform. She was bruised and bloddy and crying etc......so we challenged him to explain himself........I was with 12 other people at the time half of which just happenned to be rather big guys from..........boy it caused a scene and the police were called and they took both of them away without to much ado !! It seems they may have been under observation because the cops were there in like 2 minutes ! So I think that this girl was being forced to do what she was doing so I am glad we stopped him. We should all keep our eyes out for <deleted> that are involved in this sort of thing and step up to stop them !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
