Modern Slavery: Sanu’s Story

A victim of modern slavery has told BBC Radio 5 Live how he was forced to work seven days a week for seven years.

Sanu, not his real name, came to the UK from Bangladesh to study and was befriended by a man who offered him a job in his shop.

This man manipulated every aspect of Sanu’s life and forced him to work continuously without a day off.

Sanu told Nihal Arthanayake that the man ‘controlled me like you’d play a computer game’.

Sanu’s situation only came to the attention of authorities when a customer offered him a lifeline at the end of 2018. He's now living in a Salvation Army safe house and is telling his story in the hope of saving others still trapped in modern slavery.

June Steenkamp

June Steenkamp talks to Dan and Sarah about one of the biggest international news stories of the past year. Last month South African paralympian and Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius was jailed for five years after admitting to shooting his girlfriend, June's daughter, Reeva Steenkamp through a bathroom door at his home in Pretoria. The court cleared him of her murder, but found him guilty of culpable homicide, the equivalent of manslaughter in English courts. He's now serving his sentence in Kgosi Mampuru prison, but could be released next year, to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest. Throughout the trail June Steenkamp attended court every single day. She has now written a book about her daughter, her death, the trial and media storm that followed.
