There are over 340,000 slaves in the world today! Where are they?

Thought slavery was removed all over the world? Think again. A new CNN report features revealed we now have still slaves nowadays, in fact there may be between 340,000 and 680,000, which is between 10-20% with the entire people! These slaves are found in the very small Saharan nation, Mauritania. In 1981, Mauritania was the last country to abolish slavery.

Unfortunately, all activists in the country are arrested if they protest the practice of slavery, and the government denies that slavery exists within the country! Up until 2007, slavery wasn’t even a crime in Mauritania! Since then, only ONE slave owner has been arrested and penalized. Do these statistics seem a little fishy? You have to read the source to get the full story.
