A Thai man, alleged to be a key coordinator in the commercial trafficking of illegal migrants from Myanmar into southern Thailand, has been apprehended by immigration officials in the southern province of Songkhla.

 

28-year-old “Arnat”, was charged with providing shelter, aid and facilitation in the smuggling of illegal migrant workers into Thailand, working with a human trafficking gang in Myanmar.

 

Songkhla immigration officials said that Arnat’s arrest follows months of investigation, following the capture of 50 undocumented migrant workers from Myanmar and three Thai guides in Hat Yai District on October 19th and after a previous arrest in January.
