Immigration: Human Trafficking

West Vancouver Dept: Mumtaz Ladha, 55, is wanted on a warrant for hiring the 21-year-old African woman, police said Monday afternoon, according to Vancouver Sun. "This was work well beyond what you would expect reasonable working conditions to be in Canada," said Const. Michael McLaughlin, a federal spokesman for the RCMP's E Division. "Things like hand-washing underwear of all the people in the house, hand-washing cars, hand-washing the cars of guests who came over and a West Vancouver woman has been charged with human trafficking in connection with a case in which a young woman was allegedly brought over from Africa and forced to work in demeaning and slave-like conditions in a lavish West Vancouver home. Police said Ladha allegedly promised the victim a work visa and a job at a Vancouverarea hair salon, but instead forced her to work 18 hours a day, seven days a week, in her home. As reported in the news.
