The Boston Phoenix just published a first-hand report on
Pakistan's growing slave trade in Afghan refugees. Girls are
used for sex, boys for manual labor. Writer Andrew Bushell
describes the auction of one adolescent girl: "About 15 minutes
into the bidding, one of the buyers asks for an inspection. The
elderly woman removes the girl's tunic, fingers the child's
breasts, and then shines a flashlight into her open mouth to
show that she has a good set of teeth..." Click on the links
below to read Bushell's full report.
