KARACHI: The 12 Pakistanis out of 20, who were trafficked from Pakistan to Somalia by cruel agent for slavery, returned to Pakistan on Saturday with the kind efforts of former Federal Minister for Human Rights Ansar Burney and Ansar Burney Trust International.

The Ansar Burney Trust International that was endeavouring hard to save the lives and to bring back 20 Pakistani nationals, who were trafficked for slavery and were stuck at the Berbera Port in Somaliland, has thanked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad for their kind assistance in this regard to bring them back.

The Ansar Burney said that 20 Pakistanis were trafficked for ‘Modern day Slavery’ by cruel agents in Pakistan to Somalia, via Dubai, about one month ago by way of cheating and fraud as they were promised by the agent to be taken to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for the good job of fishermen but conversely they were taken to Somaliland, Somalia.

Ansar Burney disclosed the names of 12 Pakistanis who reached home are Chaudhry Muhammad Khalil, Abdullah, Bashir, Ghafoor, Umar, Jamil, Jaffar, Adam, Abdullah Ismael, Akbar Ali, Muhammad Younus and Firoz.
