The Catholic Church will investigate shocking claims of slavery in Ecuador, South America, involving two Kenyan nuns who have just come back.

The two — Sister Sharon Ateyo and Sister Felistas Mutheu Mumbi — formerly of Social Missionary Sisters of the Church congregation claim they were held under slave-like conditions in Ecuador awaiting their final vows before being expelled.
