As horrifying and sickening as this story is, there is much to celebrate as well. The fact that a government official took swift action on a tip and rescued 500 human beings from slavery. Kudos to the police, government officials and the International Justice Mission for carrying out this well coordinated and successful mission.
We’re hoping they will have as much success in rehabilitating the rescued, ensuring they receive all the wages due to them and bringing the kiln owner to justice.
