U.K. Police Open Inquiry Amid Revelations Mo Farah Was Trafficked as a Child
TimeMAR 23 2022
Farah's story is an important reminder that there are many enslaved and trafficked people around the world that need help. He's courageous to come clean publicly, and he should be lauded for what he's accomplished under the circumstances.
While Farah's experiences certainly bring attention to the human trafficking crisis, they also reveal how successful professional athletes often receive special government treatment that other illegal immigrants don't. As is usually the case, if you bring money and talent to a country's fanbase, they'll be more likely to look the other way.
