One of comments from article:
"When a person can buy an 11 year old Thai sex-slave on the black-market in Moscow, you just know that the world is REALLY fucked up."

And another one:
""Free" trade is often looked at as a non-factor. I've seen the entire contents of a "free" trade deal myself and nothing in it was free unless you're talking about freeing up laws that Big Business somehow finds "burdensome". It's a lose-lose situation. Even before "free" trade got so out of control, slave trade existed but it was hard to keep it a secret. "Free" trade gives slave masters the power to be so hideous ironically."
