Monkey rescued from online monkey torture ring released into wild | BBC News


Mini the long-tailed macaque was rescued after a BBC Eye investigation exposed a global online monkey torture ring.

She was taken from the forest after her mother was killed. Her owner then tortured her and filmed it for sadistic customers mainly in the US and the UK, before she was rescued.

After two years of rehabilitation at a sanctuary run by the Jakarta Animal Aid Network, Mini and her adopted family were deemed ready to return to the wild.

BBC World Service reporter Rebecca Henschke – who spent over a year tracking Mini and her torturers down – went along for her release.
