Dubai: Five Bangladeshi nationals have been sentenced to five years each in jail on charges of human trafficking, a media report said Monday.
Prosecutors said the men conspired with a travel agent in Bangladesh and flew in a 21-year-old woman to work in Dubai. But they forced her into prostitution, the Gulf News reported.
A Dubai court convicted the five men of forming a human trafficking group and selling the woman. They will be deported to Bangladesh after serving their terms.
The prosecutors said the woman was severely beaten by her captors and confined to a flat for four days because she resisted their attempts. The men later sold her to an undercover policeman, who told them he planned to make her work as a prostitute.
