THAI AUTHORITIES have rescued nearly 30 Myanmar victims from alleged human traffickers’ hands in Phuket province.
The rescue operation relied on information provided by a Myanmar man who successfully ran away from the suspected traffickers, who were also from Myanmar.
“We have finally discovered a small place where 29 victims were locked inside on the province’s Siray Island,” Anti-Human Trafficking Division’s commander Pol Maj General Kornchai Klayklueng said at a press conference Monday.
He said in addition to helping these victims out, police also managed to arrest three suspects.
He identified the suspects as Jiw San Nyunt, Sow Mo, and Soe Win Aung Zo.
