Fred was grabbed while loitering on the street in "outside countries" and kept in a room with 30 other people ready to have his organs removed. The police managed to save the situation the day he was due to be cut up. After assisting with the investigations, all he wanted to do was go back to Uganda and live his life. However, Fred is broke, and his family back home are also too poor to assist with the travel arrangements. Is he destined to remain there?
WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?
Luckily for Fred and his family, they do not have to worry about selling their only plot or getting a loan for his return.
The law says that the minister of internal affairs, together with other relevant government agencies, must facilitate the return of victims of human trafficking like Fred.
Fred's family should get in touch with the Ministry of Internal affairs to arrange for the return of Fred at no cost to them. Suppose a situation arises where Fred's return to Ugandan endangers him. In that case, the minister may negotiate with the country where Fred is (the host government) to extend his stay for his protection.
If you are in Uganda and you suspect that you or anyone you know has been trafficked, please contact any of these numbers and you will be given help. +256800199699 / +256709010853
