By Via Gar, comes what will probably be one of the most disgusting news stories of the year out of South Korea:
Police in Korea arrested five people for trafficking 443 underprivileged people, including the disabled, to sea farms and slave ships on remote islands. Three more suspects possibly involved in the smuggling ring are wanted by authorities. (…..)
Then they sold a 25-year-old mentally retarded man who visited them for a job to an owner of a fishing boat. Before that, they bought drinks for him, made him have a sex with a prostitute and burdened him with 5 million won of debt, the police said.
They also charged him 13 million won in pre-paid wage; he tried to escape from the boat three days after he was sold.
I sure hope there is some outrage over this.Â

Modern slavery…
This is disgusting news. One would hope those responsible will spend a long-time in but this is South Korea where the justice system is more messed up than in the US. Where else does someone get less than 10 years for killing over 500 people?…
