PUTRAJAYA: Source countries of human trafficking must also be held accountable, instead of just zeroing in on the recipient countries, said Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic).

The Deputy Prime Minister said it was not fair for countries where victims of human smuggling ended up in to be solely blamed while countries where these people were taken from were unaffected by it.
