Olympic champion: I was trafficked

Geng Zhi

On the 12th local time, the British BBC published a news that detonated British public opinion on its official website: 2012 London and 2016 Mili Two Olympic Games 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters of gold medal winners. Mo Farah, a famous British long -distance runner who won the Cavaliers, said in an interview with a documentary in the BBC that he was actually trafficking from Africa to Britain and was once "forced to work" in the UK.

He even said that the personal information he used to use was fake. His real name is not Mo Farah.

According to the BBC report, Mo Farah told the BBC reporter who interviewed his BBC that the name of the Mo Farah (Mohammur Farah) he was well known was actually a trafficker who traulted him to the British. He started. His parents are not refugees who have said from Somali from Somalia before.

His real name is actually Hussein Abdi Carin (Note: Below Geng Zhi will also use this name to call him). His father died in the civil war of Somalia as long as he was 4 years old. At the age of eight or nine, he was first brought to the relatives of Djibouti by his family, and then a woman he had never seen had been trafficked to Britain with a fake identity.

The name of his Mo Farah came like this -it was a fake name that the trafficking person forged him.

After coming to the UK, the woman who trafficked him began to force him to work, and asked him to do housework and see her children. The trafficking of the trafficking also tore the paper that recorded his loved ones, threatening him not to tell the truth, otherwise he would never see his family.

It was not until the age of 12 that the trafficking allowed Cassin to go to school with the name of Mo Farah. However, the school's teacher quickly discovered the abnormalities of this child. For example, he could hardly speak English, and the parents of the Parents' Association could hardly come, and it was incompatible with British culture.

But his sports teacher found that he had excellent sports talent. Cassin also finally revealed the truth to the sports teacher who took care of him, and found a new foster family with the help of the teacher -a family who also came from Somalia.

Since then, Cassin's life has gradually improved. Although he missed his family in Africa, he also adapted to Mo Farah's identity. The sports teacher who had originally rescued him, and later applied for British citizenship. In the end, Cassin obtained British nationality in 2000 and became the British Mo Farah.

Then, his sports talent began to shine in the track and field stadium in the UK and the world, and finally won a series of honors for him and the British reward to the Jaw of the British rewards to outstanding sports talents, becoming Sir Mo Farah.

When I introduced it here, the BBC also mentioned that although the British identity of Cassin was obtained by the fake identity of Farah, it was procedural to obtain nationality with false materials, but some lawyers said that his experiences said that his experiences They all happened when he was very young, so the risk of being deprived of nationality was very small.

However, the BBC did not explore the specific details of Cassin's trafficking to Britain in its text reports. For example, whether this trafficking is a normal state, whether there is a population trafficking criminal group, and so on. The BBC only said that they tried to contact the woman who trafficked Cassin to Britain that year, but the other party did not give any response.

And Cassin himself said that there are actually many children who have the same experience as him, but he is lucky. Because he can run, he can be saved by running. But the BBC text report did not further mention the situation of those children similar to Cassin: Is it saved? Do you see your family again? Did Cassin himself find his original family and reunite with his family?

In the end, Cassin's amazing experience also attracted a lot of attention from British public opinion. Many people praised his "counterattack" and said that no matter who he was, he was a hero.

However, some people also point out that if Cassin does not run, then he is likely to be regarded as a "illegal immigration that stole the British work." Some people have called for the British to sympathize with those who have been trafficking to Britain like Cassin, because many people do not have the same luck like Cassin.

Some people have also criticized the British Conservative Government's plan to temporarily resettle both refugees and smuggles to Rwanda, African countries, saying that this approach will only cause many children like Cassin to face doom, and call on the UK to change the immigration system and properly proper Putting people similar to Cassin, let them avoid the fate of being exploited, no matter how they come to Britain.

Kasin is a victim of trafficking crime after all. Even if he later had a better life and got better resettlement, he couldn't change this fact. However, there are not many discussions on the British network on how to crack down on population sales.

This may be because the British may still think that Britain, rather than his hometown Somalia, is more likely to give Cassing a place to succeed in life. This is indeed a fact, but why is it a tragedy for Somalia, a African country?
