Human traffickers to be sentenced to 16-20 years in prison

By Gideon Alon, Haaretz Correspondent

Human traffickers can be sentenced to 16-20 years in prison, according to a
new law which passed its second and third hearings in the Knesset on
Tuesday. The bill was approved with a majority of 30 MKs and no opposition.

Israel is a major hub for human traffickers who sell people for the purpose
of forced labor, slavery, sexual exploitation and black-market organ sales.
