Lite Beer Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Crackdown ordered on human traffickersThe Sunday Nation BANGKOK: -- The Interior Ministry has instructed provincial governors to survey the number of migrant workers and dispatch special-task teams to crack down on human traffickers.The move is part of the bid to get Thailand out of a Tier 3 ranking on the United States' Trafficking in Persons Report 2015, to be out in June. People were also urged to report human trafficking on the 1567 hotline.Permanent secretary for the Interior Wiboon Sanguanpong said yesterday governors were told to implement urgent measures until March - to gather related data, inspect establishments 'at risk' of having trafficked people, set up a multi-disciplined panel to screen any "damaged" victims and give regular reports of operational results to the ministry.

thesetat2013 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Ah yes, the monthly crackdown on trafficking announcement.Which means the imm offices will be going around giving foreigners working a hard time again in search of the illegal workers they already know about and allow.

HeijoshinCool Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Its all about getting Thailand off tier 3 from the U.S. This is just more "Smoke & Mirrors" Its the children that suffers upsets me. . Yep. That is 100% exactly what it's about. They think making these regular announcements about, oh my, crackdowns! will set them straight with the west. So naive about the rest of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toknarok Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yes it's all about the money of course. Not the fact that the appaling treatment of the poor unfortunates being trafficked should be the prime consideration for trying to stop it, but that the failure to get Thailand off the 'third tier' might lead to economic sanctions by the USA and the EU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 These crackdowns continually announced reveal that concept that rooting out crime and punishing the guilty just doesn't seem to occur to the wise ones who administer the police and "justice" system. "Oh, we are supposed to enforce the laws as a matter of course? Who's paying, btw?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iReason Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Follow the money. But the cowards won't go after the "influentials". Especially, if there is Military involved. There will just be more window dressing with photos of some hookers and farm workers. Illegal workers. Scapegoats. Subterfuge. The way they do it here. Got news for you Somchai, that doesn't wash on the world stage. "governors were told to implement urgent measures until March" What? The season will be over? I guess the operations are over. Today. March 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oziex1 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 The seriousness of this issue really requires attention and full responsibility from the top. Delegating to Governors or whoever shows a lack of concern and commitment, this is not going to go away and the world will hold Thailand accountable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrumisgreen Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Funny they have to have 'crackdowns' on things which are illegal anyway!! Might as well just admit that the enforcement of the statutory laws aren't actually working and/ or being applied with any real will!.. of course, the rest of the world, and even anyone reading the latest 'THIS TIME we mean it!!' announcement recognise such things for what they really are, a giveaway admission of uselessness in law-enforcement and even naivete about how the rest of the world views such governing agencies' attempts to appear that things are otherwise...

Strangebrew Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Well maybe if you put the crack down and face the issue then enforce the Law's all the while going after the big bosses who deal in slave labor then you wouldn't need this monthly BS report. Ever think of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 "dispatch special-task teams to crack down on human traffickers." That should be easy enough for the military to perform. They're used to cracking down on humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
