VIETNAM: Police jail 6 for trafficking women
Updated
Police in Vietnam say they have broken up the country's largest network responsible for trafficking women out of the country. A Taiwanese man and five Vietnamese have been jailed for trafficking more than 120 women to Malaysia, where a new law designed to combat the trade has recently come into force. The women had been told they would married to Malaysian men, but many were tricked into prostitution. But the successful convictions are a small victory in the fight against Southeast Asia's thriving trade in human beings.
