父母替他們做出了偷渡的決定。

隨着英國“死亡貨車案”的案情逐漸明朗化，多方關注使得越來越多的偷渡案浮出水面。最近英國《每日電訊報》的一項調查發現，不少阿爾巴尼亞的父母把兒子偷運到英國，竟然只是爲了讓他們參與販毒。

Parents in Albania are trafficking their teenage sons to the UK to join organised crime gangs that control large tranches of Britain’s cocaine market, an investigation by The Telegraph has found.

《每日電訊報》的一項調查發現，阿爾巴尼亞的父母把他們十幾歲的兒子販運到英國，讓他們加入英國勢力範圍相當大的一個販毒團伙。

Increasing numbers of young Albanians are being illegally smuggled into the UK with the promise of earning thousands of pounds from selling and running drugs for the gangs.

越來越多的阿爾巴尼亞年輕人被非法偷運到英國，有人向他們承諾，只要幫黑幫經營毒品買賣，就能賺取數千英鎊。

根據英國國家犯罪調查局(NCA)的數據，阿爾巴尼亞是向英國販運人口的最大來源國，2018年有947起偷渡案件來自這裏。

這些年輕人也都是通過藏在大卡車裏偷渡到英國的，唯一不同的是，他們的父母替他們做了這個決定，更準確的說，他們被父母賣給販毒團伙了。

“The majority of Albanian boys and young men are trafficked with the complicity of their parents and the promise of financial remuneration by the traffickers,” said Steve Harvey, an international law enforcement specialist, who has presented his evidence to a Home Office inquiry into the problem.

國際執法專家史蒂夫·哈維說：“大多數阿爾巴尼亞男孩和年輕人都是在父母的串通下被販賣的，而且人販子承諾他們會得到豐厚的報酬。”哈維已經向內政部提交了自己的調查證據。

“Families are approached by traffickers and engaged with on the basis of how they will profit financially from the deal. Additionally, the family are the traffickers and the children are seen and used as resources.”

“人販子會主動接近這些家庭，拿豐厚的經濟回報誘導他們參與進來。家人成爲人販子，孩子則被視爲資源。”

“The traffickers and exploiters promise them money, a lot of money, and they promise them a job or when the boys are minors, they promise them accommodation, or clothes, so things that they need to have,” an anonymous source told the Home Office inquiry.

一位匿名消息人士告訴內政部調查組：“人販子和上家承諾給他們錢，很多很多錢，還允諾給他們找工作。如果孩子不滿18歲，還承諾給他們提供住宿、衣服等生活所需的東西。”

此外，已加入販毒團伙的阿爾巴尼亞年輕人也在不斷地通過社交媒體炫富，表現出一副成功人士的樣子，吸引越來越多的年輕人走上這條路。

靠販毒過上的“好日子”能長久嗎？答案顯然是否定的。很多年輕人藏在卡車裏歷經千辛萬苦到達英國，卻沒“享幾天福”就被抓住了。

Typical is Endrit Vishaj, who entered the UK illegally aged 16 hidden on a lorry that took him to Solihull in the Midlands. Now, 18, he is serving a four year and four month jail sentence for dealing cocaine.

Endrit Vishaj就是個典型例子。他16歲時藏在一輛卡車裏偷渡來到英國，在中部地區的索利赫爾生活。如今，18歲的他因販賣可卡因被判四年零四個月。

He was caught in a Bilston car park driving a BMW in which police officers found two one kilogram blocks of high quality cocaine worth £200,000 in a carrier bag with £55,500 cash - as well as his £1,000 fee for the job.

警察抓他時，他正在比爾斯頓的一個停車場開着一輛寶馬，車上的手提袋裏放着兩塊1公斤重的高純度可卡因，總價值高達20萬英鎊。另外還有55500英鎊現金，以及屬於他的手續費1000英鎊。

Another is Klevis Drazhi, 20, caught with 11 wraps of cocaine in Moorgate, London, and jailed for 18 months, claimed he was coerced into supplying drugs by a member of the Albania mafia after illegally entering the UK on the back of a lorry.

20歲的Klevis Drazhi在倫敦摩爾蓋特被捕，他攜帶了11卷可卡因，被判18個月監禁。他聲稱，自己在坐卡車偷渡到英國後，阿爾巴尼亞黑幫成員逼着他販毒。

Alfred Hamzaj, 22 and jailed for eight months for dealing in Dewsbury, west Yorkshire, after being caught with four kilogrammes of cannabis, claimed he had fallen into crime after losing his job at a hand car wash due to his illegal immigration status.

22歲的Alfred Hamzaj在西約克郡的德斯伯裏販毒，因攜帶4公斤大麻被判入獄8個月。他聲稱因爲自己是非法移民而丟了洗車行的工作，不得已才走上了犯罪道路。

如果說冒着危險把孩子送出去是爲了讓他們擁有更體面的生活、更美好的未來，尚能理解；那麼把他們送出去加入犯罪團伙又該如何理解，是爲了一己私慾葬送孩子的前途甚至生命，還是心存僥倖？

Another sob story . Glad these fools were caught and jailed . Are ppl just so blooming ignorant that they believe the will become wealthy ? Doesn’t anyone think anymore ? There is lots of press about the dangers of human smuggling yet these ppl continue to put their sons at risk ?

又一個悲傷的故事。很高興這些傻瓜被抓住了。這些人是有多無知，真以爲他們會變成土豪？大家都不動腦子的嗎？媒體報道了那麼多偷渡危險的事，然而這些人還要把他們的兒子置於危險之中？
