Myanmar slams US report on human trafficking
Afp, Yangon
Military-run Myanmar yesterday denounced the US annual report on human trafficking, which blacklisted the country as one of the world's worst offenders for the seventh year, state-run media reported. The US State Department's annual "Trafficking in Persons Report" released last week listed Myanmar in Tier 3, meaning it is one of the worst offenders along with 15 other nations including North Korea, Sudan and Uzbekistan. "Although the stated aim of the US is to eradicate trafficking in persons, internationally, the report lacks objectivity," the New Light of Myanmar newspaper said, quoting a statement from the foreign ministry.
