Oh My God, how many of them are there?

The message of the agency reads that a Sumgait resident Gunay Rasim gizi Seyfullaeva (born in 1986) is accused of people trafficking, and search activities are being carried out against her.

For nine years the police were looking for a resident of Baku, Amani Ahmedova, born in 1975, charged with a similar Article, and she was detained in April this year. In 2007-2009 she took the Azerbaijani girls to hotels and brothels of Dubai, attracting them to prostitution. Then on the basis of complaints a lawsuit was filed against her. It is unclear how she managed to hide from law enforcement agencies for such a long period, taking into account the specifics of her work (recruiting, sending and escorting women to their destination.). A few days ago, the Narimanov district court ruled to extend her detention for another 2 months because of the additional circumstances in her case.

In late July, 14 Azerbaijani women were deported from Turkey to Baku. The moral department of the district police department of Kars carried out an operation in one of the nightclubs in the Karadag district. According to local media, during the operation 31 "night butterflies" were arrested, who did not have a work permit. Among the detainees there are 14 citizens of Azerbaijan, four - from Russia, two - from Georgia, seven - from Armenia, three - from Uzbekistan, and one from Moldova. After registration of the protocols, women were deported from the country.

Meanwhile, the trial of the case of the 35-year-old Ruhangiz Rasulova, accused of involvement in the sexual exploitation of women in clandestine brothels in the Turkish city of Shanlıurfa, near the border with Syria, continues in the Baku Serious Crimes Court. The victims of her criminal business were Khatira Abdullaeva, Nargiz Imanova and Aliya Ibadova, who in their testimonies told how they got into the network of "Mom Rosa".

There are dozens of facts in police reports about illegal brothels in Baku, and people trafficking. According to official data, in 2010, 128 crimes related to trafficking were registered. In 2016 were recorded 160 facts of human trafficking. Over the past 12 years, 1078 facts of human trafficking have been identified in the country; 761 victims of trafficking in human beings were identified. More than 100 criminal groups are brought to criminal liability.

Official statistics show an increase in the number of such crimes. However, as NGO experts note, the data in official reports do not reflect the real situation with human trafficking in the country. Police gets information about suppliers of "living goods" abroad. After all, some women involved in this industry know what kind of work they are going to Turkish cities, and others on their return prefer to remain silent.

Today in Baku there are apartments and dozens of massage parlors where clients are provided with intimate services. Local press writes that the Arabs' tourist trips to Azerbaijan took a specific touch. They are mostly interested in sexual entertainment. On August 7, a tourist from Iraq, Ammar Ali Abed Al Juvor, died at the Caspian Business Hotel. Despite the efforts of the doctors of the "First Aid" he died of heart failure. It turned out, he often took pills to increase potency and drank drugs with energy drinks. It is fact that girls from our regions are attracted to the brothels and night clubs in Baku; and this is also a human trafficking, only on a different scale.

According to the director of the Human Rights Center of Azerbaijan Eldar Zeynalov, social problems, unemployment, low salaries promote the growth of trafficking. Someone earns money in Baku, servicing tourists, someone attracts large incomes in brothels in Turkey. In Turkey, prostitution is legalized. According to the law, every woman in this state who wants to be engaged in prostitution must register and receive an identification card with data on the state of health. But most prefer to hide from the state this way of earning.

"This is certainly an organized crime. Such kind of business cannot be done alone. There is a chain: recruiters who accept "live goods" on the spot, employers, etc. If a person " is flashed" at a border point at the airport, constantly flying back and forth in a certain direction, this already leads to certain thoughts, draws attention to this figure, its activities. But for some reason he does not get into the field of view of law enforcement agencies. Can someone "cover" the pimps who supply women to the brothels of Dubai and Istanbul?" Zeynalov asks.
