KL police rescue 34 sex 'slaves'

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): Malaysian police said on Tuesday they had rescued 34 foreign women who had been drugged and forced to work as prostitutes in a brothel.

They said the women, from neighboring Thailand and Indonesia, were forced to work at night and drugged so they would sleep during the day.

The women, along with six men arrested, are being held while police investigate.

Pictures in the Malay Mail showed rows of women, apparently sedated, slumbering on the floor of a windowless room after officers on Monday cut through a metal door leading to the room they were kept while not working.
