Jordanian children's trafficking details in Malaysia
Malaysian police succeeded in rescuing 17 Jordanian children, including a 3-month-old infant, during operations in Kuala Lumpur targeting a child trafficking network involved in exploitation for begging. Fifteen individuals were arrested, including 7 men and 8 women, believed to be Jordanians, with evidence indicating that some entered the country with valid tourist permits. The rescued children range in age from 3 months to 14 years and were being used in begging activities. Police investigations suggest a possible kinship link between the children and the suspects. The raid also uncovered cash, passports, and photos of children. Malaysian child trafficking laws prescribe life imprisonment or a minimum of five years in prison, with the possibility of whipping. Investigations continue to uncover all the details of the network and how the children were exploited.
