MEMOIRS OF A SLAVE A

S I type this little memo, just thought Id let any readers know how freezing cold it is this week especially when Im shoved outside at approximately the peak of freezing temperatures in Southern California as the only human in exhistance other than monitoring in their warm cars LAPD (to make certain for the gang members its confirmed that Im freezing, in pain, suffering, and exhausted to the point of death waiting for that dreamlike moment that I will no longer shine with a content smile upon my face or entertain myself with exercise and ways to pass the imposed torture off as a means of Olympic training). Peoples of America both foreign and domestic have desperately longed for these moments since warning me as a child after winning a gold medal. Who cares what it was for. It doesnt matter. - Rachel

CHUKRI SYSTEM

The Chukri System, is a type of debt bondage or forced labour system found in Bangladesh and parts of West Bengal. Under Chukri System a female will be coerced into prostitution in order to pay off debts.[1] In this system, the sex worker generally works without pay for one year or longer in order to repay a supposed debt to the brothel owner for food, clothes, make-up, and living expenses. The system creates a workforce of people virtually enslaved to their creditors, and constitutes one of the primary causes for women entering the sex trade. The system flourishes primarily in West Bengal and Bangladesh.

Kwalliso
North Koreas political penal labour colonies, transliterated kwalliso or kwan-li-so, constitute one of three forms of political imprisonment in the country, the other two being what Hawk (2012)[1] translates as short-term detention/forced-labor centers[2] and long-term prison labor camps[3] for misdemeanour and felony offences respectively. In total, there are an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 political prisoners housed within the North Korean imprisonment system.[1] In contrast to these other systems, the condemned are sent there without any form of judicial process as are their immediate three generations of family members as punishment. Durations of imprisonment are variable, however, many are condemned to labour for life. Forced labour duties within kwalliso typically include forced labour in mines (known examples including coal, gold and iron ore), tree felling, timber cutting or agricultural duties. Furthermore, camps contain state run prison farms, furniture manufacturing etc.

Arab slave trade

A 565,000 Federal Tax Lien originating out of Los Angeles, CA without permission of anyone. However, stalkers from Los Angeles County stalked the womans social security number, computer dealings (the cache, cookies, and printouts, work schedule, future outlook, her wishes and dreams, etc. from Korea Town and sold the information gathered or someone like law enforcement of a different geographical location perhaps a man or jealous female spouse employed in the Executive offices of the United States remotely accessed the IP address and copy-

screened remotely every letter typed and screen tuned into from across the country). This is also known as a form of slavery:
If slaves agree to that and they would like the money they earn to be counted toward their emancipation, then this has to be written in the form of a contract between the slave and the master. This is called ( mukataba) in Islamic jurisprudence. Muslims believe that slave owners are strongly encouraged to perform mukataba with their slaves as directed by the Qur'an: ... And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum), give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you. ... Qur'an, Sura An-Nur[46]

Debt bondage in India

Children
Debt bondage in India applies to children sold by their parents.[2] A form of long run employer-slave relationship is formed when these children are tied to this debt bondage to work for their employers for a time period that could be stretched to a lifetime, and usually for minimal or no wages.
Debts that are not paid off in a debtor's lifetime can be passed down to their descendants, making the original debtor's family indebted to the families of rural landlords and money lenders, across multiple generations.[

Sex trafficking in Eastern Europe

Child trafficking
Child trafficking in Eastern Europe is mostly likely to occur in children younger than twelve (for begging, theft, and other street crimes) and older than 15 (for commercial sexual exploitation).[9] Cultural taboos generally prevent the trafficking of young boys for sexual exploitation, however, some cases have been noted among Romanian children trafficked abroad. Susceptible to trafficking are children with disabilities and children belonging to specific ethnic minorities, such as the Jevgjit in Albania and the Romani people in other parts of the region. A UNICEF report conducted in 2006 by Dr. Gilly McKenzie, (UN Trafficking expert), noted that children meeting these criteria were not generally the victims of outside traffickers, but members of their own community, who sought to generate an income from their sale abroad.[9] This report also highlighted five common characteristics of children at risk for trafficking in Eastern Europe. These included:[9]

children who suffer domestic violence children who lack family support and protection (ex. children living in institutions) children who have dropped out of school children belonging to ethnic minorities (ex. Roma) children who have been previously trafficked

Islamic views on slavery

Islamic views on slavery first developed out of the slavery practices of preIslamic Arabia.[1] During the wars between different states/tribes in various parts of the world, prisoners/captives were either killed or enslaved. The Islamic prophet Muhammad and many of his companions reformed the existing system of slavery by placing captives / POWs in the private custody of Muslim soldiers (rather than public/state custody as is prevalent in the modern world) for there were no official prisons available in the newly created Muslim state in Madina headed by Muhammad. In Islamic law the topic of slavery is covered at great length.[1] The Qur'an (the holy book) and the hadith (the sayings of Muhammad) see slavery as an exceptional condition that can be entered into under certain limited circumstances.[2] Only children of slaves or non-Muslim prisoners of war could become slaves, never a freeborn Muslim.[3] They also consider manumission of a slave to be one of many meritorious deeds available for the expiation of sins.[4] According to Sharia, slaves are considered human beings and possessed some rights on the basis of their humanity. In addition, a Muslim slave is equal to a Muslim freeman in religious issues and superior to the free non-Muslim.[5] In practice, slaves played various social and economic roles from Emir to worker. Slaves were widely employed in irrigation, mining, pastoralism and the army. Some rulers even relied on military and administrative slaves to such a degree that they seized power. However, people did not always treat with slaves in accordance with Islamic law. In some cases the situation was so harsh it led to uprisings such as the Zanj Rebellion.[6] However, this was an exception rather than the norm, as the vast majority of labour in the medieval Islamic world consisted of free, paid labour.[7] For a variety of reasons, internal growth of the slave population was not enough to fulfill the demand in Muslim society. This resulted in massive importation, which involved enormous suffering and loss of life from the capture and transportation of slaves from non-Muslim lands.[8] In theory, slavery in Islamic law does not have a racial or color component, although this has not always been the case in practice.[9] The Arab slave trade was most active in West Asia, North Africa and East Africa. By the end of the 19th century, such activity had reached a low ebb. In the early 20th century (post World War I) slavery was gradually outlawed and suppressed in Muslim lands, largely due to pressure exerted by Western nations such as Britain and France.[2] However, slavery claiming the sanction of Islam is documented

presently in the African republics of Chad, Mauritania, Niger, Mali and Sudan.[10][11][12]
There are numerous ways in which a slave may become free. One way is through expiation for certain sins committed by the master, such as involuntary manslaughter or perjury. Other ways include emancipation through becoming an umm walad, who is freed upon her master's death along with her children, or an independent act of piety by the master, as recommended by the Qur'an.

The purchase of female slaves for sex was lawful from the perspective of Islamic law, and this was the most common motive for the purchase of slaves throughout Islamic history.[62] The property of a slave was owned by his or her master unless a contract of freedom of the slave had been entered into, which allowed the slave to earn money to purchase his or her freedom and similarly to pay bride wealth. The marriage of slaves required the consent of the owner. Under the Hanafi and Shafi'i schools of jurisprudence male slaves could marry two wives, but the Maliki permitted them to marry four wives like the free men. According to the Islamic law, a male slave could marry a free woman but this was discouraged in practice.[49] Islam permits sexual relations between a male master and his female slave outside of marriage. This is referred to in the Qur'an as ma malakat aymanukum or "what your right hands possess".[63][64] There are some restrictions on the master; he may not cohabit with a female slave belonging to his wife, neither can he have relations with a female slave if she is co-owned, or already married.[2]
