webfact Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Police to make anti-human trafficking top priorityBANGKOK, 30 March 2015 (NNT)-The Royal Thai Police is expected to propose to the Prime Minister a move to make anti-human trafficking efforts a national agenda.According to Deputy Police Chief Police General Ake Angsanon, several police units have been working in cooperation to help human trafficking victims, especially those lured into prostitution, forced to be beggars, and Rohingyas who entered Thailand illegally.The Police General said he believed some Thais had been involved in the human trafficking of foreign nationals who were forced to beg on the street for money.He added that an investigation had been launched whether the same group of suspects had been involved in similar cases in the past.The Deputy Commander further stated that the police would do their best to keep human trafficking at bay, and that he would, on April 3rd, propose preventive measures to the committee on prevention and suppression of human trafficking for consideration.-- NNT 2015-03-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas2008 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Wow, the police suddenly woke up and are proposing to do their job as they are supposed to do, but never did. A kick in the ass by the army seems to do some good to some services in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oziex1 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Well that inspires confidence that the problem will be thoroughly investigated. I really believe the logistics of this operation require the Armed forces. Edited March 30, 2015 by Oziex1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lawrence Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 It would be hard to police when the boss's mates are the ones running the company involved in the trafficing business? Didn't the Thai Navy sue reporters because they hurt their feelings in a article on trafficing? Then again they could hire Andy Hall as a consultant to look into suspected individuals and companies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestBitterPhuket Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Until arrests AND convictions are made of police officers involved in this disgusting trade or protecting human traffickers, it should not be taken seriously and Thailand should remain a bottom tier and severe sanctions imposed. Foreigners are not stupid. They can't fool us. We build iPhones, land people on the moon and created every modern technology used in the world today. We will not be fooled by sham reforms. Real reforms and punishments of the people, companies and institutions involved in human trafficking, otherwise all these efforts can't be taken seriously.

retarius Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Wow...the RTP are really catching on fast here...'they are expected to propose' that it become a priority...well that will solve the problem. I notice that this issue on fishing boats is morphing into a problem of Thais being dropped off Indonesia....not of Burmese and Cambodians being in forced Labour on Thai fishing boats. There was a front page article in the Bangkok Post this morning....the PR type of article which showed the number of 'cases' in 2008 and 2014 being 'investigated. It was Mickey Mouse stuff, with the vast majority (about 80%) of cases being about people working without a permit....they seem to still want to bullshit their way out of this. And no word on any convictions for trafficking. Let's see some action for a change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Royal Thai Police is expected to propose to the Prime Minister a move to make anti-human trafficking efforts a national agenda." Of course as an item on the national agenda, human trafficking becomes the responsibility of the Junta. Meanwhile, the police will scurry under the nearest rock lest they are tasked with any participation - let the army do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing Gravy Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well at least there is admittance that Thailand has a Human Trafficking problem. it wasn't so long ago that it didn't exist. So at least there is a step forward. Actually tackling it and eradicating it. Well I will wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issanaus Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well at least there is admittance that Thailand has a Human Trafficking problem. it wasn't so long ago that it didn't exist. So at least there is a step forward. Actually tackling it and eradicating it. Well I will wait and see. We are starting to see small bites been taken into the Human Trafficking disgrace. For example the BKK Post on the 30 reported the Amlo seizing 43mil B in assets belonging to a ring involved in Human Trafficking. While this is a move forward it also highlights 2 issues. The first of the issues is the size of the problem and the amount of money involved because this is a small operation. The second issue is that most of those involved in human trafficking are also involved in other criminal operations. The positive from the last point is that attacking any of the issues (eg drugs, prostitution, gambling, police corruption .... ) also assists in the fight against the other criminal issues.
