Yemen has recovered 3,500 children smuggled into Saudi Arabia and other neighboring states for slavery and illegal adoption, a Yemeni legislator said Monday. Mansour al-Zanadani raised the issue of smuggling children before parliament, asking for the questioning of the interior minister, the minister of labor and human rights on the issue. Al-Zanadani produced official documents affirming that Yemen was able to recover 3,500 children who were smuggled to neighboring countries, especially to Saudi Arabia where they are being put up for adoption or sold into slavery. He said much more Yemeni children have been smuggled and never returned. Only last week, he said, authorities seized six children ages ranging between 6 and 13 whom gangs were trying to smuggle into Saudi Arabia. |
