‘I Would Slash Your Throat’

…Victims Of Chinese Sex Mafia Threatened, Three More Girls On The Run. Chinese Govt. Intervenes In Saga.

Slave masters of the Chinese sex mafia have been hiding under the cover of the dark, issuing threats to the seven girls who were rescued from their sex base in La, a suburb of Accra-Ghana.

The girls have been given explicit orders not to spill the beans of the modus operandi of the sex mafia and if they continued to do so they would be located either here in Ghana or China and have their throats slashed.

One of the girls Zing Zang Xhu (not her real name) said in an interview that she was told this in her attempt to find out the whereabouts of the other three girls who were not at the scene during the raid,because they were busily serving other clients.

When the threat was issued, all the girls started weeping uncontrollablyand it took the staff of the Enslavement Prevention Alliance – West Africa (EPAWA), a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) providing them with post-rescue care at a secret location to console and subsequently convince them that they were truly safe and no one would harm them here in Ghana .

“It is sad to see these women so frightened again. The threat shook their sense of security. They were frightened to the bone” said Sam Eschenbrenner EPAWA.

The number that called has been handed over to Head of the Human Trafficking Unit Patience Quaye. The girls have also been thanking the Ghana Police for rescuing them, however adding that they want to go to China within the shortest possible time.

Various stakeholders including Ministry Of Women And Children, (MOWAC) the Human Trafficking Unit of the Ghana Police, EPAWA and International Organization Migration (IOM) are working together to ensure their repatriation and care once they return to China. Signals picked by the New Crusading Guide indicate that the new Minister of Women and Children, (MOWAC) Akua Sena Dansoa is taking the matter very serious. She is said to have convened an immediate meeting with the stake holders looking for a way forward for a better life for the Chinese girls. .
