The BBC report on the "sex slave" trade brothel raid in Birmingham today, but it fails to mention the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking of Human Beings.
N.B. the latest versions of the BBC website reports now do seem to include a mention of the CoE convention, but only, presumably, after our complaint (unlikely) or the BBC's monitoring of their rival TV network coverage (much more likley).
Sarah Green from Amnesty International has been interviewd by Sky News and ITV News, and has mentioned the Council for Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking of Human Beings.
Why has the NuLabour Government still failed to sign or ratify this Convention ?
Why was the police raid in Birmingham delayed until after the Labour Party Conference, in which neither Home Secretary Charles Clarke nor Foreign Secretary Jack Straw bothered to mention this Convention ?
The TV pictures clearly show the presnce of TV crews and other photographers waiting for the bus full of "up to 50" police women to turn up and raid the premise, so it was a staged media event by the West Midlands police.
