Many people have planned wonderful overseas trips for the upcoming National Day holiday. In addition to the general safety guidelines, it is particularly important to note that human trafficking remains a world-high-value industry, with at least 2.5 million people disappearing every year, who may be sold as sex slaves, slave labourers, circumcised organs, or slaughtered at will.
There are many dangerous corners of the world that you do not know at all, and unimaginable evils. If we are prepared, we may be able to circumvent those dangers.
This is an unprecedented special auction, and this auction is not an antique, not a famous painting or calligraphy, nor a luxury, but a white woman with yellow hair, wearing a pink tights and lying flat on the variegated marble floor. Eyes dull, revealing despair, face red, hair messy, as if just cried.
A striking card was posted on her stomach with a string of characters with the seller's name, address and way of purchase. "$ three hundred thousand, global delivery, free delivery in Europe," is her price.
According to sellers, the merchandise is a 19-year-old British model with 34D-25-35 's proud BWH. She was kidnapped from Italy on July 16 this year and is now Germany.
The girl's name is Chloe Ayling, a picture of her being kidnapped by a criminal group two months ago and auctioned online. Human trafficking, a global black industry with a value of at least $32 billion (200 billion yuan).
Every year, at least 2.5 million people around the world disappear in the same way as Chloe, not just women, but also men and children. According to estimates by the United Nations International Labour Organization (ILO), annual income from trafficking in human beings is as high as 600-8 million worldwide.
At this stage of human trafficking, different from the past, children are taken in the street, new types of human trafficking all over the world, and a very wide range of age span, and will happen to you and me at any time.
Being alone is the easiest way to be a target for human traffickers.
Zhang Yingying, who boarded a black car in the United States, has been missing for nearly four months. Even though the kidnappers had already been arrested, the smiling Beida girl was still unaccounted for.
For nearly a decade, the cross-border black trade in human trafficking has not stopped. Despite changing tastes on both sides of the deal, women are still the main victims.
And single women are the most likely targets for traffickers. The most typical human trafficking film, Hurricane Rescue 1, shows us this situation, and don't assume that such storylines will only appear in the film, which originates from life and is a microcosm of life.
Reality is more terrifying than movies, the director once said: "I don't want to model Paris as a" cosmetics capital ". I just want to express the real and life-friendly side of Paris.
In July 2014, a 24-year-old Chinese girl named Liu Jinni encountered a startling night when she was alone in Paris. Liu Jinni's "Hurricane escape" in Paris has been used by many as a textbook-like model of on-the-spot escape. If she hadn't remained calm all the time, observing the exact location of stairs, elevators, fire alarms, bathrooms and cleaning rooms all the way from the room to the lobby. Save valuable time for escape, quickly make the right way to escape, and timely contact friends, even if the wrong step, fate is the opposite.
The victims of the Dark net deal were sold to Middle Eastern local tycoons as sex slaves.
But not everyone is as calm and calm as Liu Jinni, and many people fall into the black market without even having time to react. Like the British female model Chloe., who was mentioned at first.
On the day of her abduction, Chloe was walking on the street near Milan's central railway station, with a pair of black gloves holding her neck and covering her nose and mouth from behind her without warning, while another masked man immediately gave her a shot in her arm. Then Chloe lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she had put on the pink tights. His mouth was taped, his hands and feet handcuffed, and his body twisted into a luggage bag. According to her voice, she guessed that she had been stuffed into the trunk of the car.
Italian police restored the scene of Chloe being taken away after being kidnapped by Lee bags. The owner of the pair of black gloves, Polish kidnapper Lukasz Herba, was driving her to a remote farm hundreds of kilometers away, where she remained for six days. When he was arrested by police, he was going to auction Chloe for three hundred thousand euros on Dark net.
The Black death (Death Black) is the organization that kidnaps and auctions Chloe on the dark Internet. It's cold, evil, and riddles. According to people familiar with the matter, this is a European criminal group specializing in kidnapping, assassinations and human trafficking, and they can do anything if they give money.
In the week Chloe was auctioned, the kidnappers told her that the "Black death" had been used to kidnap people and sell the victims to the Middle East as sex slaves, both men and women, via a dark net. For the past five years, they have been able to sell three women a week, earning as much as 15 million euros.
Black death sells human trafficking as a sex slave, and a netizen searches for traces of the disease on the Web, saying the group is a criminal syndicate involved in drugs, assassinations and human trafficking in Eastern Europe.
Once sold, the victim may no longer be recovered, personal information will be destroyed by criminal groups, a new identity, a new name will be re-registered, and since then it will disappear. Not only are they ravaged by the tycoons of the Middle East, they may also be resold or exchanged for others.
No one will know how the victims were abducted in public, how criminal syndicates were evaded by police in various countries for trafficking, and how many such men and women were trafficked around like toys, and no one knows how many of these men and women are being trafficked like toys, and no one knows how many of these men and women are being trafficked like toys. To become a tool of lethargy, eventually die in pain and struggle.
But Chloe is lucky. He survived because the kidnappers found out she was the mother of a 2-year-old. This may be the last human nature of the kidnappers.
Eventually, Chloe's agent redeemed her for 50, 000 euros, and the kidnapper Lukasz himself took her near the British consulate and was caught on the spot by ambushed police.
In Thailand's dark web space, only $10,000 can be paid for a gun loaded with bullets and a man who can be arbitrarily abused, mostly destitute and willing to die in order to make a living at home. The alarmist event was later adapted into a thriller, except that the victim became a backpacker from Europe and the United States-perhaps the most isolated and missing group.
Victims of abduction need safe and reliable channels to "check" goods, auctions, and, despite the limited information available to police around the world, the dark web is indeed one of the fast-rising channels of trading in recent years.
The so-called dark web, as the name implies, is a virtual network hidden outside our daily network, which can't be found by conventional search engines. The number of networks is hundreds of times larger than that of everyday networks, requiring only one onion router and VPN to communicate with each other without leaving any trace.
Some dark web sites are legal, and they are more like places for like-minded netizens to share niche hobbies or just pass the time. Of course, you can also find drugs, firearms, pornography and other illegal transactions, live killings and human trafficking is one of the most hidden and dark, the "Black death" is one of them.
There is a wide variety of goods sold in secret-net stores, including drugs, banned drugs, pornography, etc.
These organizations, like ghosts in the city, are hard to find and often require specific code and search terms, as well as the introduction of middlemen. But sometimes, in order to attract new businesses, they occasionally run out and advertise, and when they reach enough guests or attract so much attention that they are alerting the police, they lurk with new guests. Make a dirty deal in private.
"Black death" was brought to the Internet by a netizen a year ago, and was immediately exposed because of the appalling "merchandise" it sold.
A former 18-year-old American girl, Nicole, was abducted from Paris, imprisoned in Europe and sold for $ one hundred and fifty thousand in private online auctions. Nicole wore only one pair of shorts and was tied back with a rope.
The Black death has even launched a one-day hunt-and-kill program, the Hunting Journey for Human beings. Located on an island near New Guinea, participants were allowed to hunt on the island with long-range weapons, such as firearms, and those who had been abducted for prey could even be taken as trophies. The whole event costs $ one hundred thousand.
Asian women are the most favored. The Chinese women who have been abducted and sold are all over the world.
The worst part of human trafficking is not just to force female victims to be sex slaves, men to work, but also to become disabled, beg along the streets, get married, shoot porn, transplant organs, and even kill and play.
Once forced into the black market, no one knows what their fate will be, every day can be the end of life, their identity will be tampered with, desperate and tormented through every day and night.
Asian women are one of the more "popular" groups.
OKCupid, an online dating website, has found that Asian women are at the top of the dating food chain for many years in a variety of male races with higher-than-average attractiveness. This has to do with Western stereotypes about Asian women.
Recently, Seattle police launched a massive anti-vice operation, successfully captured 110 clients. During the operation, the police used fishing methods to find a prostitution website containing a large number of photos of South Korean women, after the South Korean prostitution ring, the police inadvertently found a Chinese prostitution ring. Police found that local clients liked to go to brothels with Asian women, "so the local prostitution gangs opened their own Asian brothels."
There is no doubt that Chinese women are also scattered among them, and the trafficked Chinese women are all over the world.
According to the U. S. Department of State trafficking report 2017 incomplete statistics, China's victims of about 60 countries and regions. People often find Chinese women forced to satisfy gamblers, tourists and migrant workers in big cities, construction sites, borders, casinos, and high concentrations of Chinese workers in these countries.
According to the International Tourism Administration, in 2016, the number of Chinese outbound tourists reached one hundred and twenty one million nine hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine, and the top 10 countries with the highest spending were Thailand, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Maldives, Indonesia, Singapore and Australia. Italy and Malaysia, perhaps at the moment you are ready to travel to these countries to play and learn. But I'm afraid you don't know that the traffickers lurking in these countries are already eyeing the Chinese, and you're likely to be the next victim.
Last year, 28 Chinese women who were rescued in a case of smuggling and prostitution in the United States went to the United States to travel and study abroad with a green card mentality. With the help of the local Chinese "immigrant lawyer", their passports, files and some of their money were detained and delivered to the red light area for $100, 160 each.
In Japan, on average, about two hundred thousand foreign women are trafficked by triad groups each year through "entertainment visas" to engage in pornography across Japan, including women in mainland China and Taiwan. In 2015 alone, there were as many as 3116 missing Chinese students in Japan.
In Bangkok, Thailand, the "trafficking centre" sold women and children from Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam and the southern provinces of China to Japan, Australia, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. North America and southern Africa have formed huge population storage and diversion bases.
Most people think men won't be the target of human trafficking, but don't forget, it's a cruel world that can't be explained by common sense. Over the past decade, the taste of the black market is changing, and men's deals are gaining traction.
According to the United Nations Office on drugs and Crime, 1/5 of the victims of trafficking in human beings in 2014 are men, and at least five men in every 20 victims worldwide are underemployed. High intensity manual labor is carried out in places where the working environment is abominable.
Remember the story of "Southeast Asian Fish Slave", which won the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism in 2016? Most of the men who were abducted to Indonesian fishing grounds for $1000 came from Myanmar and were tricked by labor companies to work as slaves, working 20 to 22 hours a day. Not enough to eat, not enough to sleep, only to lie down in the place rest, and people are locked in cages, a little carelessness will be beaten.
"the bottom of the sea must be like a mountain, it can be built into an island, and there are so many dead." A lucky escaped slave worker said that some of the fishermen suffered life-long disabilities from hard work, others died buried in the rainforest, and tombstones were engraved with pseudonyms when they were deceived.
