The John Paul II Justice and Peace Centre, a Catholic Church institution comprising seven missionary congregations, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime have warned of a new wave of crime that involves trafficking in persons for body organs and slavery.
Msgr John Baptist Kauta, the secretary general of the Uganda Episcopal Conference, said many Ugandans are being trafficked, especially to the Middle East, where they are subjected to slavery, cheap labour and their internal body organs harvested for ritual sacrifice.
