These poor people that were found in the container were victims of people traffickers who exploit people like this with the promise of a better life and in many cases go on to take their life savings with their false promises, even the container driver has done a runner, they are whom any criticisms should be directed at not the victims themselves who only wanted a better life for themselves and their families.
Essex Police and Crime Commissioner Nick Alston said: “This incident should highlight for us the evil of the abuse and exploitation of vulnerable people of all sorts and in many different circumstances.“The police and partner agencies are continuing to investigate the circumstances of those found in that container. But we can be sure that almost all cases of human trafficking involve exploitation by callous organised criminal gangs.
“Much of the great harm caused by human traffickers is unseen by most of us; and it too easy not to care. “I am determined that human trafficking and other hidden harms, those crimes that seemingly don’t impact on most of us ever, but where the lives of the vulnerable are made wretched and frequently ruined, are brought in to the open.

“It matters because of those ruined lives; and because evil criminals and violent perpetrators are profiting from that harm.”
