Slavery vs torture, detention and forced labour
Submitted by netipr on Sat, 05/18/2019 - 05:06There are some commonly held views about "slavery", especially in connection with offshore detention of asylum-seekers. First and foremost, to dispel some potential confusions: 1. Slavery is not about "torture"; not all enslaved persons are tortured [#1].
2. Slavery is not about "forced labour"; the exaction of labour is one of the 'indicators' or manifestation from the slavery [#2].
