I Exposed How Child Slaves Grow Weed
I Exposed How Child Slaves Grow Weed
A parallel world of human trafficking exists in plain sight all around us, we just can’t see it. Modern slaves from Vietnam are working in nail bars, in restaurants and in brothels and cannabis farms across the UK. Guardian journalist Annie Kelly worked closely with lawyer and director at Duncan Lewis Ahmed Aydeed to tell the story of Minh and fight for his freedom.
Minh was just 16 when he was raped and trafficked from Vietnam to the UK. He was forced to grow cannabis alone in a house in Derbyshire, where the plants were more valuable than his life. When the police arrived to raid the property, he was criminalised instead of protected.
Ahmed fought tirelessly for Minh’s freedom, and after 12 legal challenges his conviction was overturned and he was granted the right to remain in the UK. This is his story.

Slavery never ended. It just evolved. The method that they tried to enslave this young person is common. They offer a job to someone in a poor neighborhood in a poor country and promise prosperity. But he has to pay off the travel and legal expenses for getting a visa plus a fee. When he gets there, they take his passport. He lives in sardine can with other slaves. He works all day everyday for little pay. It may take years before he pays off his debt. The difference between this and chattel slavery is that if he dies or is injured, it’s no loss to them. They just get another one.
Look at Doha. See the magnificent buildings. Next summer you’ll see the magnificent World Cup stadiums all built by slave labor.
wow
Modern slavery been happening for who knows how long, but the real question is how to put a stop to this for good
People can be so fucking disgusting. Poor guy, all he wanted was an opportunity to have a decent job. What a absolute nightmare. I only hope he can move past this and enjoy his remaining years.
it’s called having a job you lazy kks
The board brains of dutifully obedient police, prosecutors, and judges rationalize the doors being locked in the candy-house by slobbering greed.
This entire comment section is saying government should do this or that how about yall mobilize and take action like you did for BLM or anti mask march?
That’s fucked up man
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Imagine some stoner getting weed and gettin happy and high wile the kids that grew and cultivated it are still working
Slavery evolves and capitalism need slaves to run
Wish i could be surprise.
The handeling just show how mucho the police, and the judges are looking for the weaker links to make papers and earn power.
Poor kid. Wish him the Best on his life.
Your videos editing skills are getting better day by day
capitalist pigs
just becaus u have been a victim of crime dosent mean u have the right to stay in a country the ppl that did it to him needs to be put in jail and he himself needs to be sent back home to his country and also is there eny evidence of the so called torture or sexual abuse i think that are just lies and he knew that he was gonna ilegaly enter the country and work with iligal stuff just cus u are poor dosent mean u can break the law vice is kinda propaganda for mass migration
Forced to grow weed. Boohoo
Poor Minh 😓
"There are more people in modern slavery no than any time before."
Also: Amazon
Wow
The uk and us is failing it’s people all because of racist!!!! Way it all us uk the keep fund it I know it true
This is hilarious as our border is being overrun with children indebted to the Cartel and because it’s so disorganized under the current administration that 3 of every 10 disappear completely…. and that is in the US.
This is why we need legal cannabis work wide
White people pay for this abuse. No need worry when you are on top of the pile. Shameful abuse caused by apathy.
Check out "eyes of the devil" if you wanna see what goes on and part of society. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Tbh I thought he was an Indian from UP or Bihar, damn😂😂😂😂
I missed the how part.. at least I know where [UK], and why [$] now.
🤭
Uyghurs
human capital
Modern slavery…like America??
You Brits are soft. SMH.
Bri ish
Huh. Maybe the UK should de criminalize pot and this might go away?
“Oh min min min FUCKING MIN”- Jez
Zero evidence presented
Not to be debby doubter… It is possible for people to think of a "pre-recorded" story of how maybe they can get out of trouble, especially if they are sitting in a dark house half the day. Human self preservation will get people to figure out some interesting tactics.
And that’s why people love weed, because of child slavery.
What if his getaway plan is that he doesn’t speak English but actually does and knows another language and is faking everything. Getaway plan 3000 I hope the homie gets his freedom altogether because 420 blazeit
Two systems working against him, glad he’s okay now!
Legalize it England. WTF?!
alot of talking and no proof
Not only children are susceptible to slavery but millions of ppl from third world countries are willing to basically be slaves for earning money below min wage just to feed their families. hong kong, us, uk, dubai
War on Drugs casualty
The UK police do the same to sex slaves, they deport them andncriminalise them, because its easier and costs less. Life has become worthless to some and have no empathy of soul to do the right thing.
This is so sad, breaks my heart that no big news aren’t reporting this and decide to report on its illegal to.wear masks and not seeing the bigger picture
Kill em all . Wish I had 3 slaves
This is just easier to blame and put away.
People see what they want to see.
Старое, доброе рабство
