Ladha: Mumtaz Ladha

Mumtaz Ladha: Mumtaz Ladha, 60, is accused of illegally bringing the woman, who can't be named, to Canada in August 2008. The Crown alleges Ladha forced the woman to work long hours as an unpaid housekeeper in her home in West Vancouver, according to Huffington Post. As the trip drew to an end in early 2009, said Gottardi, the woman asked Ladha for assistance to stay in Canada and VANCOUVER - A young woman whose life in her native Tanzania was marked by poverty and hardship was so desperate to stay in Canada that she fabricated allegations she was tricked into leaving her home and forced into domestic servitude, a defence lawyer told a human trafficking trial Thursday. Defence lawyer Eric Gottardi said Ladha brought the woman to Canada for what was supposed to be a brief visit as a travel companion and to help in case Ladha fell ill. The woman had worked at a salon Ladha owned in Tanzania and previously worked as Ladha's housekeeper. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
