he means; as it is still an ongoing court case, are we allowed to comment on it.

Absolute disgust and disgraceful acts of brutality. Preying on the lowest of society.

r we allowed to comment on this??????

Good statement Parvee point. Shocking story. Glad justice had been done and hopefully this will never happen again and if it is going on elsewhere will be brought to light.

And these ‘people’ want, no demand equality? They’d be the first to jump up & down if travellers were to be exploited but when they do it themselves… I don’t care what anyone says but others outside this site knew if this & said nothing!

Statement we released last night:

Pavee Point notes the conviction of four people in England, charged with forcing destitute men into servitude and forced labour. We welcome the work done by the police in prosecuting the case, and, as we did in September 2011 when the case emerged, we condemn utterly the activities of those responsible.

Pavee Point is dedicated to the promotion of the Human Rights of all people — Pavee Point unequivocally condemns slavery, exploitation of vulnerable people and forced labour in all their forms, wherever, by whomever perpetrated and whenever they occur. The crimes of which four people have been convicted today are extremely serious — it’s important that justice is done and that nobody should be left in any doubt that this activity was heinous and utterly unacceptable.

We further ask that anybody with any information on mistreatment of vulnerable people, slavery or forced labour to give that information to the relevant authorities — people in Ireland who wish to do this confidentially can contact Garda Confidential by free telephone on 1800 666 111.
