englishoak Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 the US government has acknowledged that Thailand has continually tackled human trafficking activities. No dear if the US had then Thailand wouldnt be on tier 3, they have acknowledged Thailand isnt doing anywhere near enough and has a long way to go before coming up to expected standards. Another stupid Thai attempt to turn a slap in the face into a pat on the head...Thailand has already been penalised and kept on tier 3, moron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me a link instead of insults that tell of lengthy prison sentences that were not actually carried out. Or maybe you have a link to show more than petty fines were paid? Maybe you can show were police or gov officials were fired or imprisoned instead of moved to inactive posts? Come on now. Surely you can back up your insult with proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unaware of any given other than movements to inactive posts and small monetary fees. Enlighten me I don't believe anybody has been convicted yet, just arrested and in jail. Money has been confiscated.

Srikcir Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Since the Junta has indicated it will remain in control of the nation through 2016 with elections possibly in 2017, the USA might impose some limited sanctions to maintain pressure on the government to follow through with CONVICTIONS, PROACTIVELY shutdown human trafficking organizations and CEASE punishing anti-trafficking groups. Such action by the USA would be especially consistent with EU views of inadequate Thailand anti-trafficking efforts if the EU "red cards" Thai seafood this year.
