Secretary for Security Wong Sio Chak yesterday denounced a human trafficking report published by the US government last week as having “misinterpreted” the local crime data, because pimping, prostitution and human trafficking were entirely different crimes.
The policy secretary made the remarks on the sidelines of a magazine launch ceremony at the Academy of the Public Security Forces in Coloane.
Announcing the launch of the Macau Police Magazine, which comprises research articles by judicial experts and scholars from Macau, the mainland and elsewhere, as well as up-to-date information about police work, Hoi Sio Iong, who heads the academy, said he hoped that the magazine will serve as an academic platform for continuous improvements in the local police force.
