IJM Rescue Update Location: Mumbai, India Date: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 Result: Trafficking ring crippled - 8 suspected perpetrators arrested, victims freed

Listen to our recent 'Miracles in Mumbai' Freedom Partner podcast and learn more about the challenges and triumphs of our work.

I'm pleased to share that in a carefully planned, multi-stage rescue operation conducted last week in partnership with the India Central Bureau of Investigations, IJM struck a blow at an organized trafficking ring that had entrapped victims from as far away as Bangladesh. In cooperation with IJM staff, police arrested the suspected perpetrators and safely removed 34 women and girls from a restaurant, a hotel and the trafficker’s apartment and brought them to a safe location where they are now receiving counseling and care.
