Some people illegally go abroad

Many people go abroad to work in Vietnam, such as Nghe An province, Ha Ting province, and Quang Binh province.

The realities of English smuggling with danger
A Vietnamese man who had traveled to the UK illegally about 10 years ago responded to NHK's interview and revealed the actual situation of smuggling, which is sometimes dangerous.
A 56-year-old man living in Quang Binh, central Vietnam, entered Germany through a local Vietnamese broker from his home country in the Czech Republic in search of a more profitable job.
The man did the job of selling cigarettes without having the necessary visas in Germany, but he was caught by the police many times and there was a fear of leaving the country, so he again came to the UK with a broker of a Vietnamese broker It is said that you have decided to cross.
I was told in advance that the work in the UK is cultivation of cannabis, but I will return home as it is to repay the debt I made to come to work in the Czech Republic and send it to my family who has a hard life in my hometown In spite of this, even though we knew it was illegal, the man at that time had no choice but to steal.
The man, as instructed by the broker who requested the arrangement, entered France by train from Germany and was taken to another Vietnamese broker who met there in the forest near the harbor. Several huts were built there, and it was like a base for 2,30 Vietnamese who planned to smuggle into the UK.
Then, at midnight, I went down to a truck with a British license plate that stopped near the port according to the broker's instructions, and aimed at Britain by ferry.
However, even if the truck with the UK number goes to another destination or may be found by the police at the inspection, etc., it is said that each time I ran back to the base in the forest and repeatedly dive into the truck again The
The man stayed at the site for two weeks and finally reached the UK on the twelfth track. However, some trucks are equipped with refrigerated containers, and I heard that there were people who died in the containers.
The men were paid for illegally growing cannabis in the smuggled UK, but were eventually arrested by police and deported.
“The travel route from France to the UK was very dangerous. Many Vietnamese are still aiming for the UK in a similar way for their families, but they know they will endanger their lives. I want people to lose their lives again in this way. "
