As Britain's "death truck" incident continues to ferment, more ongoing smuggling cases have been exposed. In Belgium, police intercepted two trucks in two cities on the 26th, including stowaways from the Middle East and Africa, who are planning to travel to Britain. Eight immigrants, including four children, were found hiding in a refrigerated lorry at the French port of Calais on the 27th, ready to take a ferry to the UK.
On Oct. 28, Vietnamese media revealed a photo of a group of Vietnamese "ready to go to England" sitting in a forest on the outskirts of Batina, Calais Province, in northern France, shivering in makeshift tents on all sides as they entered late autumn.
There are still many doubts to be solved, especially the identity of the victims, in the shocking container death of stowaways in Essex, England. At present, there are more and more clues that at least some of the people in this tragedy come from Vietnam. Although Vietnam is one of the emerging countries with a high speed of development in recent years, its social economy is still relatively backward, which also means that the occurrence of illegal immigration or even smuggling is not unusual. In fact, as far as Asia as a whole is concerned, smuggling has always been a problem that cannot be eliminated because of the large number of developing countries and the frequent wars in individual regions. For China, on the one hand, "smuggling" has long been a lot. The remote and vague memory of the person, on the other hand, the smuggling phenomenon still exists, just behind it is not a simple poverty problem.
Viet Nam has no official statistics for the number of smuggles per year, but there is always a way to get some money from a new house that has continued in Ancheng County. Environmental pollution, soil salinization and frequent typhoon attacks have led to poor farming conditions here, so that people in the south-south and central region never believed that``no pie'' and``no order'' led to``extreme'' --the stubborn in the bones and even the Vietnamese in other places. There is no other way to go abroad, and then send the money back to China through the``underground bank'' . Of course, the outside can see only the tip of the ice. It's also making'' . The word "overseas Vietnamese" is a secret to many Vietnamese.
BBC recently quoted Vietnamese anti-trafficking groups in Vietnam as saying that in the past, most Vietnamese who chose to travel to Europe and the United Kingdom came from Haiphong or Guangning provinces, but in the past decade, relatively poor provinces such as Yi'an, he Jing and Guangping have also begun to see large numbers of Vietnamese immigrants to the United Kingdom. Most stowaways are stationed temporarily in Russia or Eastern Europe, and the last transit point is often in France on the English Channel.
"I am very sorry for you and your father, mother. I can't go abroad. Father, mother, I love you. I'm dying. I can't breathe. " "Brother, you must work hard to help your parents pay off their debts." This is a text message from Fan's tea eyebrow from an town, Gan Lu County, Heping Province, Vietnam, when the "death truck" was on its way from the Belgian port of Zebru to the British port. Fan returned from work in Japan this year and bought her brother a taxi with her savings. On Oct. 3, she left Vietnam for China and then went to France.
On October 26, the public security department of Yian province announced that the province had arrested four suspected criminals suspected of organizing people illegally leaving the country. The four men are suspected of organizing illegal departure to work in Australia, and public security officers have intercepted more than 400 unprocessed materials from them. You know, 400 people are equivalent to the population of a village. On the same day, a report from a farmer in urban and rural areas of Yian Province surprised the police-in order to borrow about 30,000 pounds of "introduction fee" to his son, he actually mortgaged his property certificate, but now his son has no news at all.
Although Britain has yet to identify the victims of the Essex container case, some families in Ancheng County, Vietnam's Yian Province, have been shrouded in a cloud. According to Vietnamese officials, five of the 24 families reported were from the nearly 500 square kilometers district and prefecture, and people familiar with the matter said the smuggling incident was likely to involve more Ancheng people.
How many Asian steers have landed in the UK in recent years? No official figures. The BBC's findings say about 28,000 illegal immigrants were caught in the UK only in 2013 and 2016. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has shown that, from 2014 to October 2019, a total of 27,000 people in transit were confirmed to have died or disappeared on their way to the United Kingdom. Britain is not part of the Schengen district, but it is easy for illegal immigrants to use the Schengen system as a springboard to the UK.
