Thailand Deports 144,000 Myanmar Workers Amid Crackdown:

Thailand has detained and deported over 144,000 Myanmar nationals in the past three months, targeting illegal workers amidst ongoing turmoil in Myanmar. This crackdown, which began in June, involved inspections of nearly 15,000 businesses. The deported workers face a two-year ban from re-entering Thailand and risk military conscription upon their return to Myanmar. Despite the vital role of Myanmar workers in Thailand's economy, particularly in agriculture and services, the Thai government is tightening regulations on migrant labour, raising concerns among employers and labour activists. Other nationalities were also affected by the crackdown, including Cambodians, Laotians, and Vietnamese.
