Dumped Indian women in Albania rescued

TIRANA, May 17 – Albania is still a place for human traffic, though this time it seems as a place where illegal immigrants are brought to work.
The Indian news agency PTI reported Tuesday that eight women from Goa were duped in Albania and forced to leave in precarious condition before they were rescued by the Indian government. They quoted as the source Goa NRI Commissioner, Eduardo Faleiro.
Faleiro said that a Goa-based agent fraudulently duped these women, who were the part of the group of 20, from across India, who were sent to Albania to work in a bag manufacturing workshop.
“All 20 women were sent to Albania by a Goa-based agent and we will act against him, once we receive complaint from the victims,” he said appealing the women to lodge a complaint.
the agent ‘cheated’ the women by assuring them to pay 20 US dollars per day but were actually paid 2 US dollars.
Faleiro said that 17 women were repatriated to India so far by the Union government while remaining three preferred to stay back in Albania.
