Slavery trafficking victims crippled by fear in UK
In a safe house in North West England, 19-year-old Lukas* is reliving his own personal hell over and over again.
"Over the two years, I was given accommodation, but often I wouldn't be paid at all and couldn't afford to eat," he recalls, unable to keep eye-contact or seemingly comprehend his experience.
Originally from Lithuania, he is one of the thousands of victims of the modern-day slave trade who suffer from severe mental illness, including experiencing intense paranoia that his one-time tormentors will come and take him back.
