Albanians make up more than half of modern slavery claimants arriving by small boats - stark new figures.

[Mindful]

At least 2,300 people entering the UK illegally by small boat in 2022 were likely to claim or be identified as potential victims of modern slavery.​

Over half of modern slavery claimants arriving by small boat across the English Channel are Albanian according to the latest government figures.

Research conducted by Migration Watch UK, following Freedom of Information requests, shows that over 50 per cent of those claiming to be victims of modern slavery and who entered the UK by small boat in the first half of 2022 came from Albania.

The figures are a significant increase on 2021 when Albanians made up just over 11 per cent of those referred as possible victims of modern slavery.

No none seems to be going after the people traffickers/smugglers. These are the villains IMO, who trade on people’s misery, and charge millions for the pleasure of doing so.

From what I've read, slavery is not illegal in Albania unless it is tied to human trafficking. The trafficking thing they are working on. The slave thing, not so much.

This is a problem made by the conservative party. All of it.
