IJM Staff : Mar 9, 2016 : God Reports
When officials explained that rescue had arrived, many couldn’t believe it was real. One government officer asked the crowd “Who wants to go free?” but he was met with a stunned silence.

(India)—In an ongoing rescue operation, Indian police and IJM (International Justice Mission) staff have rescued 564 children, women and men from forced labor slavery at a massive brick kiln.
This is IJM’s largest anti-slavery operation ever—and it took place in the exact same, sprawling factory where we helped rescue more than 500 people in 2011.
