Modern Slavery: Sanus Story
b"
A victim of modern slavery has told BBC Radio 5 Live how he was forced to work seven days a week for seven years.
Sanu, not his real name, came to the UK from Bangladesh to study and was befriended by a man who offered him a job in his shop.
This man manipulated every aspect of Sanu\\u2019s life and forced him to work continuously without a day off.
Sanu told Nihal Arthanayake that the man \\u2018controlled me like you\\u2019d play a computer game\\u2019.
Sanu\\u2019s situation only came to the attention of authorities when a customer offered him a lifeline at the end of 2018. He's now living in a Salvation Army safe house and is telling his story in the hope of saving others still trapped in modern slavery.
