They’re not being allowed to leave the country. Those who are smuggled out tend to wind up leaving family behind, at which point the family (usually kids or elderly relatives) is taken by the government and held somewhere, and they’re normally not heard from again.
No matter what they do, they’re screwed. They put their family in danger if they flee, which is worse to most than being put in danger themselves, so they stay and endure. At least they can try to keep tabs on their family that way.
I know that Muslims are generally viewed with disdain, but they’re Human beings. Misled, no doubt, but it’s really depressing to see anyone respond or imply that, “I’m fine with this” regarding this treatment of ANYONE. Between physical and psychological abuse, rape, forced sterilization and forced abortions, and enslavement, it’s totally inhumane.
Thank you for this reply
