Amnesty International released a new report stating that human trafficking in Scotland consists of  a large portion of the total United Kingdom trafficking market.

From BBC News:

A modern-day slave trade is in operation across Scotland, new research has suggested.

Human rights charity Amnesty International said Scotland had 13.5% of the UK’s trade in people.

This was despite Scotland having less than 10% of the population.

Amnesty said it used figures from police, councils, voluntary groups and other services to present the most comprehensive picture to date of the problem of human trafficking.
