Human trafficking is a heavy topic, so please be prepared.
In early 2007, two traffickers snatched a toddler on a motorcycle and sold it to others. In the second half of 2022, ** found the suspect and found the abducted girl who was in high school. Where is the case headed?The prosecution decided to exempt the buyer from prosecution on the grounds that it exceeded the 15-year retroactive time limit.
This is just a small and ordinary case, and in the current legal system of our country, the punishment for human trafficking, especially for buyers, is very lenient.
For example, the law stipulates that those who traffick in women and children shall be sentenced to five to ten years, and in particularly serious cases, they shall be sentenced to more than 10 years, or even life imprisonment, or even death.
As for buyers, the law can be said to be open-minded, stipulating that it is less than 3 years in prison, but in law enforcement practice, very few people receive fixed-term imprisonment, and the vast majority of them are exempt from punishment.
For another example, Jianqiao Hospital in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, sold medical birth certificates and helped traffickers clear the identity of abducted babies and young childrenSo far, it has not been reported.
Is it the laws of our country that are particularly merciful?
Not necessarily, no. Some people were sentenced to 10 years for digging birds on trees, and farmers were fined 5,000 yuan for setting up roadside stalls to sell some vegetables
Kindness and tolerance towards buyers in human trafficking is actually aiding and abetting crime.
Most countries in the world have provisions on human trafficking, such as civil law systems, European and American law systemsBuying and selling is the same crime。If a slap doesn't make a sound, if you don't buy it, you don't sell it, if you only sell it, if you don't buy it, this thing can't be better, and such a human tragedy can't stop.
