Nearly 630 girls and women from across Pakistan were sold as brides to Chinese men last year, a new report shows, highlighting the lucrative – and widespread – human trafficking networks exploiting the country’s poor and vulnerable. It includes the brides’ national identity numbers, their Chinese husbands’ names and the dates of their marriages. Although no evidence has emerged, at least one investigation report contains allegations of organs being harvested from some of the women sent to China. In September, Pakistan’s investigation agency sent a report it labeled “fake Chinese marriages cases” to Prime Minister Imran Khan. A report released this month by Human Rights Watch, documenting trafficking in brides from Myanmar to China, said the practice is spreading.
