The return of a woman who was tricked and sold to China 6 years ago

gullible

In 2015, after getting married, Ms. Luong Thi U. (born in 1995), residing in Bao Nam commune, Ky Son district (Nghe An), became pregnant and gave birth, so she could not go to the fields to grow rice and corn. At the same time, after a serious illness, Mr. Ph. - Ms. U.'s husband's health also declined. Therefore, after giving birth for a while, Ms. U. really wanted to find a job to improve her life, have money to buy milk for her child, and pay for medicine to treat her husband's illness.

In 2016, while looking for a job, she accidentally met Lo Van Duc (born in 1990), residing in Cha Lan village, Huu Lap commune, Ky Son district. When the man invited her to work at the company with "high salary, easy work", Ms. U. and her husband did not doubt anything and nodded in agreement. However, after Ms. U. went to the meeting point at Xop Nhi intersection (in Na Luong 2 village, Huu Kiem commune, Ky Son district) to meet Duc, the man took her on a bus and continued the journey. Because she had never been on a bus before, U. was very tired and fell asleep on the way. Only when she was shaken awake did she realize that she had been sold to China as a wife, not as Lo Van Duc had promised to "work at the company".

Ms. U. struggled to return home, but because she did not know anyone in a foreign land, had no phone to contact her relatives, and was pressured by Lo Van Duc and a strange woman, U. was taken to China through an illegal route and sold to a Chinese man to be his wife... From then on, U. endured many bitter days, humiliation, and cried until her eyes ran dry as a daughter-in-law in a foreign land.

In name only as a wife, U. is no different from a domestic servant. U. has to do hard work from early morning until late at night, is under the control of her husband's family, and is not allowed to communicate with outsiders...

After many failed escape plans, one day at the end of 2022, taking advantage of her husband's family's negligence, Luong Thi U. successfully escaped and returned to Vietnam.

Tears of reunion

The day U. returned to her hometown, the village had changed a lot compared to 6 years ago. U. was lost in the arms and eyes of her relatives, tears of happiness bursting out. However, in that crowd, U. searched for her husband but could not find him. For more than 6 years, in a foreign land, due to house arrest, U. was not allowed to use a phone, so she could not contact her husband, children and relatives. Knowing that she could not hide U. for long, a relative told U. that after U. was tricked and sold to China, her husband became more ill because he missed his wife so much and passed away not long after.

Too indignant and upset because she was deceived and sold to China as a wife, Ms. U. filed a petition.denounceLo Van Duc's behavior to the Ky Son District Police Department.

Previously, the Ky Son District Police (Nghe An) received a report about the incident. After that, the Ky Son District Police Working Group collected and consolidated documents on the subject Lo Van Duc to investigate the behavior related to human trafficking. However, after working in China, this subject went to Laos to do business, causing many difficulties for the authorities to verify and investigate.

After a period of monitoring all movements of the subject, in early February 2023, receiving news that Lo Van Duc had just returned home after a business trip to Laos, Ky Son District Police, in coordination with Huu Lap Commune Police and Bao Nam Commune Police, successfully controlled and arrested the subject.

At the police station, in front of documents and evidence from investigators, Lo Van Duc confessed to his crime. Accordingly, in 2015, while working in China, Duc met a woman (unknown background and address) who asked "anyone who wants to go to China to get married" to be paid a "commission" of 10-20 million VND. Seeing the large amount of money, Duc immediately agreed.

In 2016, Lo Van Duc returned to his hometown. During a visit to Bao Nam commune, Duc met Ms. U. Through conversation, Duc learned that Ms. U. was looking for a job, so he came up with the idea of ​​taking Ms. U. to China to sell. To get Ms. U. to agree, Duc "bragged" that he knew a company that was looking for workers for "light work, high salary".

After taking Ms. U. to the house of a strange woman (China), Lo Van Duc and the woman agreed to sell Ms. U. to a Chinese man for 30,000 yuan. The woman gave Duc 10 million dong as wages, and the woman kept the rest.
