Turkey deports two Ugandans
Kampala. Two Ugandan women have been rescued by Turkish National Police from prostitution and deported, Turkish media has reported.
Turkish daily Sözcü reported the two women were rescued in Istanbul, the Turkish capital, and one suspected brothel owner arrested on Wednesday.
The Interpol Uganda spokesman, Mr Vicent Ssekate, on Sunday could not confirm the deportation of the women, but he said he was still searching with his colleagues at Entebbe International Airport to find out details.
According to Turkish media, the women, using tourist visas, went to Turkey looking for employment, but the person who promised them jobs only took them to the brothel.
The suspect was arrested by the Turkish Police through social media.
