[webfact]

 

By Erich Parpart

 

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said on Wednesday that he is confident Thailand will be upgraded back to Tier 2 of the US Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report in 2022.

 

The country was demoted from Tier 2 to Tier 2 Watchlist in 2021.

“The results from all the anti-trafficking efforts showed the government’s clear intention to prevent and suppress human trafficking activities,” Prawit said while presiding over a meeting of the state committee on the prevention and suppression of human trafficking at government house.

 

“I believe that Thailand should be promoted to Tier 2 in 2022,” he said.

The results from all the anti-trafficking efforts showed officials direct involvement in human trafficking activities...

And an ex member of the armed forces who are renowned for their own trafficking of illegals, especially the Rohingyas.

We should get Prawit and Anutin a log in here... they really know how to troll. Would be good additions to the community. Anutin in the Covid forum would be dynamite. I might ask his son Pek if he can join.

Thailand is still in the thick of people smuggling... no hope mister.

With many companies willing to employ illegals.

Well he should know better than others about human trafficking as he was named as being directly involved in trying to interfere in the investigations.

What a great idea!  And one for Prayut and Anutin.  You could even have different emotions for each character lol

Just a few days ago there was a report of trafficked Burmese being arrested at the border after being abandoned by smugglers. The US and the international community have repeatedly emphasized to Thai authorities that trafficked persons should be treated as victims rather than criminals, but it never seems to sink in.

They're not Thai so they must be criminals.

Not on his watch, I think. Only if and when there's a new Thai government in place that takes these issues seriously,

Wonder why a guy like this is still not on a "no fly list" and unwelcome in the rest of the world. By looking at his face I would advice the USA authorities to put him on the list as one of the reasons why they are not downgraded.

Does there exist a single photo of that geezer where he is either a) standing up on his own two legs instead of sitting in a chair, or b) not dozing off?

No.

Start arresting and prosecuting some of your cronies and associates, and the world will begin to take you more seriously. Until then, your inane psychobabble will be believed only by the remaining 2% of the loyal diehard ultra conservatives, who cannot think outside the box. You credibility is next to zero.
