Britain to bring in life sentences for slave-traffickers
A new British Government Bill on modern-day slavery introduces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment for human trafficking, in a bid to clamp down on a problem which is believed to have increased in recent years.
The draft Modern Day Slavery Bill sets out the Government’s plans to tackle the problem of people being trafficked into the UK to work in conditions of slavery, pulling together into a single act the offences used to prosecute slave-drivers.
