On September 8 in Bangkok, senior figures from Thailand's Law Enforcement, including the renowned Pol. Lt. Gen. Surachate "Big Joke" Hakparn, joined forces with U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to amplify collaborative actions against the trafficking of individuals and the online exploitation of the young.

 

Prominent members from Thailand's policing sector, especially the squad committed to the welfare of children, women, and families, along with their specialized anti-human trafficking brigade, held discussions with Mr. Matthew E. Wright, the Regional Attache of HSI Bangkok, and Mr. Jacob T. Carlyle, Assistant Attache of HSI. The meeting took place at the central police headquarters on September 7.

 

The HSI praised the Thai government for its significant advancements in both combatting and preventing human trafficking and online child sexual exploitation, reported INN.

 

Discussions revolved around shared strategies to address 'sextortion', a growing global concern. Additionally, both parties deliberated on mutual assistance in various operational areas to bolster the fight against these heinous crimes.

So that's the end of human trafficking in Thailand? 

The biggest joke has had a long time to demonstrate to the world if the RTP is serious about fighting human trafficking and slavery in the fishing trade and elsewhere. He has shown us nothing. Why? The top guns are simply too powerful and too well connected. They are the untouchables. Above the law. Any and all laws.
