Police rescue abducted sex slaves in Shanghai

Five sex slaves, including two minors, have been rescued from Changning, according to Shanghai Daily. They had been abducted from their home provinces and forced into prostitution here in Shanghai. Police arrested 24 suspects and pinpointed a total of seven gangs as the masterminds behind this human exploitation operation, and also arranged raids in Hubei to catch another gang. Let's hope that these women can now return to their home provinces and live unthreatened - and maybe, one day, we can actually put some sensible laws on prostitution in place to make sure that stories like this are much more rare.
