When investigating alleged human trafficking cases it is difficult for the police to collect and obtain sufficient evidence to make sure that the Public Prosecution Office (MP) is able to charge suspects with human trafficking, Judiciary Police (PJ) Director Chau Wai Kuong said yesterday.
Chau made the comments while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a forum on ‘Understanding Human Trafficking from a Global and Local Perspective’. The forum, organised by the Good Shepherd Sisters, was held at MGM in Nape.
According to the website of the government’s Human Trafficking Deterrent Measures Concern Committee, just two human trafficking cases were prosecuted last year, compared with four cases in 2014, 18 cases in 2013 and 14 cases in 2012.
