Operations against human trafficking networks increased by a whopping 127 percent compared to the same period in 2016, according to a six-month report released yesterday by the National Committee for Counter Trafficking (NCCT).

This year’s crackdowns resulted in 87 suspects being sent to court, compared to 70 in the same period last year.

Im not saying they dont have some genuine cases, but who knows, its seems they cant be open about it so maybe they dont. why keep it a secret?
