:00:10. > :00:13.travellers' site in Bedfordshire. How could it happen here? When
:00:13. > :00:18.police came here early this morning, they released two men from inside
:00:18. > :00:21.this shed. Around the corner, a darkened area. There are four beds
:00:21. > :00:28.and if we look over here you can see four passport photographs
:00:28. > :00:31.scattered on this worktop. Also tonight: The man killed by
:00:32. > :00:35.suspected Somalian pirates while on a dream holiday in Kenya. And his
:00:36. > :00:42.wife has been taken hostage. First pictures of the disgraced

:00:56. > :00:59.And the fragile cling-film baby who turned into a sturdy three-year-old.
:00:59. > :01:03.First tonight, 24 men are being looked after at a specialist
:01:03. > :01:05.medical centre after being kept as slaves on a travellers' site.
:01:05. > :01:08.Housed in kennels and sheds, maltreated and malnourished, some
:01:08. > :01:14.of them are so weak that their stomachs wouldn't be able to handle
:01:14. > :01:18.a proper meal. In a moment, how these vulnerable men are recruited,
:01:18. > :01:28.but first our reporter who was on the raid in Bedfordshire and is now
:01:28. > :01:34.
:01:34. > :01:39.at their police HQ. Here, police are issuing regular
:01:39. > :01:42.update. Over 200 officers to depart early yesterday morning. I was
:01:42. > :01:48.there as they swept through the Greenacre travellers' site near
:01:48. > :01:52.Leighton Buzzard. It was a police operation to rescue the exploited.
:01:52. > :01:57.Officers smashed locks to read several of the 24 men being held
:01:57. > :02:03.against their will. Among them, these two victims who were gently
:02:04. > :02:08.led away to safety. Their masters put them to work day and night.
:02:09. > :02:14.Some people were covered in excrement and dirty clothing. After
:02:14. > :02:19.being cared for, given food and fresh clothing, we hope to
:02:19. > :02:25.interview them. That will take a long time because these people are
:02:25. > :02:31.institutionalised. One person we know has been here for 15 years.
:02:31. > :02:38.Two m, this is normal life. police swept through the Greenacre
:02:38. > :02:43.travellers' site in Leighton Buzzard, one man lost his temper.
:02:43. > :02:48.The victims were mostly from the UK. But there were some from Poland and
:02:48. > :02:53.Romania. Vulnerable, these people were approached at benefit offices
:02:53. > :02:57.and soup kitchens for the hopeless. They were offered work of �80 pay
:02:57. > :03:02.per day. When they got to the side, police say they receive no money.
:03:02. > :03:06.Their heads were shaved and they were given little food. They were
:03:06. > :03:13.threatened if they tried to leave. When police came here this morning,
:03:13. > :03:17.they found two men inside the shed. Around this corner, there are four
:03:17. > :03:24.beds. Here are some passport photographs scattered on this
:03:24. > :03:28.worktop. Mostly, people were from the UK. Some were so seriously
:03:28. > :03:33.malnourished that a regular meal could kill them. There being slowly
:03:33. > :03:37.reintroduced to food. The victims are now being cared for at a centre.
:03:37. > :03:47.The travellers we spoke to said he did not know what was going on on
:03:47. > :03:50.
:03:50. > :03:54.the site. Pretty sick. Police have made a number of arrests. The
:03:54. > :03:58.Serious Organised Crime Agency were involved in the operation.
:03:58. > :04:02.Detectives believe this small caravan site is the hub of a multi-
:04:02. > :04:06.million pound human trafficking organisation spreading beyond the
:04:06. > :04:11.UK. Some of those rescued had been forced to work in Scandinavia and
:04:11. > :04:16.possibly elsewhere in Europe. Police have told us 9 of the 24 men
:04:16. > :04:22.they rescued have left the medical centre today, refusing to provide
:04:22. > :04:28.state and or co-operate with officers. Police are hoping the
:04:28. > :04:34.remaining 15 well assist their inquiries. We have to get
:04:34. > :04:38.scientific evidence so that we can bring people before the courts.
:04:38. > :04:42.What we don't want is for the victims to be subject to this
:04:42. > :04:47.treatment in future. We have to make sure these investigations are
:04:47. > :04:51.solid and sound. Tonight, the wife of one of the travellers who was
:04:51. > :04:56.arrested has accused the police are prejudice. They say it was part of
:04:56. > :05:05.an unnecessary crackdown on members of their community. Modern-day
:05:05. > :05:08.slave labour is clearly a serious issue in the UK. This is a
:05:08. > :05:11.sensitive crime for the police to investigate.
:05:11. > :05:14.This is unlikely to be an isolated incident. So how can slavery exist
:05:14. > :05:24.here in the 21st century? Our reporter has been discovering how
:05:24. > :05:25.
:05:25. > :05:31.vulnerable people can fall victim to such shocking abuse.
:05:31. > :05:37.This man works to help the socially excluded. 50 come here every day,
:05:37. > :05:41.rough sleepers, migrant workers, the mentally ill and addict.
:05:41. > :05:46.Protecting the vulnerable is not easy. If things are going on in
:05:46. > :05:50.secret, I am not sure how one would ever investigate. We certainly have
:05:50. > :05:55.our eyes and ears around the town all the time. People who don't come
:05:55. > :06:00.into here, we find ways of going out and engaging with them. But if
:06:00. > :06:10.they don't want to engage with us, that is it, they don't. The slavery
:06:10. > :06:11.
:06:11. > :06:16.and servitude Act became law in April 2010. It seeks to plug a gap
:06:16. > :06:26.between where there is no proof of trafficking or -- and where people
:06:26. > :06:27.
:06:27. > :06:31.are forced to perform a Labour. Prior to this Act being brought
:06:31. > :06:38.into force, there were offences which could be prosecuted, such as
:06:38. > :06:46.false imprisonment. In my view, they didn't deal with the long-
:06:46. > :06:50.standing severe forms of these cases that seeks to undermine
:06:50. > :06:54.Schumann rights and freedoms. everyone's budget under pressure,
:06:54. > :06:58.ensuring the vulnerable are protected gets tougher by the day,
:06:58. > :07:06.he says. Joining us from London now is Aidan
:07:06. > :07:10.McQuade, the Director of Anti- Slavery International. Were you
:07:10. > :07:15.shocked or surprised by this horrific case? I was shocked but
:07:15. > :07:20.not surprised. The British Government estimates that there are
:07:20. > :07:24.3,000 people in some form of in forced labour in the UK at any one
:07:24. > :07:28.time. This is representative of many of the abuses which may be
:07:28. > :07:34.occurring across the UK. What kind of things are these people been
:07:34. > :07:40.forced to do? Possibly the most well-known form of forced labour in
:07:40. > :07:46.the UK at the moment is within the sex industry. We also see some
:07:46. > :07:54.forced labour in domestic servitude and within construction, catering
:07:54. > :07:57.and cleaning. Erie has not covered by a parts of the licensing
:07:57. > :08:03.authority set up in the aftermath of the Morecambe Bay disaster
:08:03. > :08:09.several years ago. Many of the victims were British. People tend
:08:09. > :08:13.to associate force Labour with those brought in from abroad.
:08:13. > :08:18.is one of the main problems with current policy in Britain. There is
:08:18. > :08:25.an excessive focus on trafficking as an immigration crime, rather
:08:25. > :08:28.than as a forced labour offence. It is essential the British Government
:08:28. > :08:33.refocuses its priorities so that it addresses this issue as it is,
:08:33. > :08:38.rather than as they imagine it to be. What should be done now to help
:08:38. > :08:43.the victims in this case? We have heard some of them have refused to
:08:43. > :08:52.give statements. Police are calling some of them institutionalised.
:08:52. > :08:56.What appears to be happening appears to be good beginnings in
:08:56. > :09:00.terms of health and nutrition. After that, they need legal advice
:09:00. > :09:05.as to what their rights are. Then the need social counselling in
:09:05. > :09:09.order to help them recover from whatever abuse has occurred. After
:09:10. > :09:13.that, the police can take statements so the courts can work

:10:41. > :10:47.In a way, that does not surprise me. Judith Tebbutt was taken away by
