Testifying before Congress on trafficking

Testifying before a Congressional committee on Wed. April 22nd, Father Shay Cullen of the Preda Foundation explained how US nationals are investors in the very internet server providers which are uncompliant with Philippines anti-child pornography laws. He also described how journalists and human rights workers felt threatened by the death squads protecting human traffickers.

Fr. Shay, 72, is a Missionary priest from Ireland, a member of the Missionary Society of St. Columban and Founder and President of Preda Foundation since 1975. He has worked protecting women and children from sex slavery and promoting human rights, peace and non-violence in the Philippines since 1969. He was asked to testify before the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations to provide input for the US State Department’s Annual Trafficking in Persons Report.

The full text of his testimony is yet to be posted on Preda.org. Until then, see the summary article...
