Suriname police detain suspected human trafficker
Info current as of late December, 2005
PARAMARIBO, Suriname: Police in Suriname are investigating a case of suspected human trafficking and have so far arrested one suspect. Brothel keeper Henry Kunath was detained last week in Paramaribo for alleged embezzlement and trafficking of women.
Police said that his arrest came after a complaint was filed that he allegedly, under false pretext, lured a Brazilian woman to travel to Suriname for work. Police inquiries reveal that Kunath had promised the woman work as a waitress in his brothel, Club Diamond.
On arrival in Suriname, she was ordered to work as a prostitute, but she refused. The club owner subsequently confiscated her documents, ticket and passport, to force her to cooperate and earn money as a prostitute to refund the expenses he paid on her behalf to come to Suriname.
Kunath recently returned to Suriname after serving a jail term in neighboring Brazil for trafficking of women. In October 2000, the Federal Police in Brazil arrested him at the airport in Belém do Para just before he boarded an airplane destined for Suriname. In his possession he had a large sum of cash.
The brothel keeper was then accompanied by four women who he allegedly tried to smuggle to Suriname for prostitution. His detention in Brazil came after a warrant from Interpol.
Two years ago the United States of America put Suriname on a so-called ‘black list’ of countries accused of not doing enough to combat human trafficking on and through their territories.
Suriname has since then made some progress in addressing this issue and eventually tried its first human trafficking case. This resulted in the conviction earlier this year of a high ranking public official for his involvement in a prostitution ring. He allegedly lured under-aged women from Guyana to Suriname and exploited them for prostitution.
Currently, with assistance of the USA, several programs are running to prevent, detect or prosecute cases of human trafficking. Also, police and others officials have been trained in this area.

- Paramaribo Strip Club Review Dated Added: Tue May 22 2001 Submitted by: islandman
Suriname is a very poor country. not to much puta action here. however there is a club in Paramaribo which is called " Diamonds" it is a bar with mainly girls from brazil. pretty good looking, between 6 - 9. not to pushy and quite relaxed. girls go to the hotel or you can go to their room. the standard rate is $60 if you go to their room and $ 120 to your hotel (all night) but prices can be negociated. Stay in the hotel Krasnapolski or Torrarica, these are the best two hotels and not too expensive and they allow the girls to come to your room without extra charge. (Review # 3578)
