Another aspect of the human trafficking <br />issue that deserves attention is that many <br />youths have been kidnapped or tricked into <br />working as slaves in China's plantations and <br />production factories, or forced into growing <br />and selling heroin (in East Europe, Canada, <br />England...) Typical was the case of Ms. <br />Thuy Nguyen in England, who was accused <br />last November of "exploiting emigrants to <br />profit an organized international network of <br />criminals." 29 <br />Article 75 of the Socialist Republic of <br />Vietnam Constitution states: "The State <br />protects the legitimate interests of <br />Vietnamese people residing abroad "; yet, the <br />reality is, due to the intermediary companies' <br />fear of losing profitable clients, Vietnam's <br />embassy officials abroad never offer any <br />positive help to the victims. A number of <br />organizations run by overseas Vietnamese, <br />such as the `Committee to Protect <br />Vietnamese Workers' and the `Coalition to <br />Abolish Modern -day Slavery in Asia' <br />(CAMSA), have made great efforts in <br />rescuing victims; however, no effective <br />measures have been enforced to radically <br />uproot this traffic as it is mainly a collusion <br />between state officials who provide <br />cooperation and protection to the rogue <br />operators and the lack of official supervisory <br />agencies for these kind of activities. <br />In conclusion, partly due to the victims' <br />eagerness to escape from their poverty and <br />partly due to the illicit participation and <br />protection by powerful officials for <br />giam- dan -lao -dong- sang - malaysia.htm (accessed 12 <br />Dec 2011). <br />zs NgLxai Lao Hong (Laboror), "fli xuat khau lao dong: <br />Kho giau ", <br />http://nld.com.vn/20110316113255499pl 010cl 011/ <br />di- xuat - khau -lao- dong- kho- giau.htm (accessed 26 <br />Dec 2011). <br />29 The UK Border Agency, "UK head of people <br />smuggling gang jailed ", <br />http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/news <br />articles /2011 /november /38- people - smuggle <br />(accessed 18 Dec 2011) <br />Vietnam Human Rights Network * Annual Report 2011 <br />villainous individuals and organizations, the <br />human trafficking continues to exist under <br />complicated forms. As a result, victims of <br />the "modern -day slavery" keep undergoing <br />humiliating miseries and drastic violations of <br />their dignity, as well as economic and <br />cultural hardships. <br />31 <br />
