webfact Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 13 Rohingyas nabbed after they were dumped by their human traffickerBANGKOK: -- Thirteen Rohingya illegal migrants from Myanmar have been detained by police in Chumporn after they were dumped in a roadside bush by their driver, according to Post Today Online. Pol Sub-Lt Wasant Trato, a deputy inspector of highways police, said that while on his routine patrol on Highway 41 in Tambon Khunkrating, Muang district of Chumporn this morning (Wednesday) he came across two men walking on the road.Since the two men didn’t look like other foreign migrant workers, the office stopped his car to make an enquiry but the two men simply ran away so he and his teammate gave chase about 100 metre into the bush where they found a group of Rohingya illegal migrants.Among them are four male adults, six women, two boys and one girl. All appeared to be weak and hungry and none of them have any official documents in their possession.Speaking through an interpreter, one of the migrants, a Mr Tien, said they came from Mortama in Myanmar and were led by a Myanmar guide into Thailand through Kanchanaburi.On Tuesday night, they were herded into a bus which was supposed to take them to the Thai-Malaysian border. But somehow the bus driver ordered them to leave and hide in the roadside bush and sped away.Mr Tien said he left the bush for the road to wait when the bus would return to pick them up but instead was spotted by the police.Police suspected that the illegal migrant group paid a human trafficking gang to smuggle them through Thailand into Malaysia but they were dumped by the driver because there is a police checkpoint about one kilometer from the spot where the Rohingyas were hiding.

Johpa Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Another thread headline that shows contempt of humankind. Here are 13 piss poor people being trafficked and then being "nabbed" as if they are common criminals. What is going on at ThaiVisa. The mods need to divert some attention towards the office staff who are clearly in contempt of mankind after perhaps spending a tad too much time in Pattaya.

spidermike007 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 The question that comes to mind here, is how many traffickers have been nabbed lately? This problem is endemic. There are probably thousands of Thais involved in human trafficking, and profiting from the slave trade. How many of them are getting arrested? And if any are getting arrested, how many are getting convicted and spending many, many years in prison, like they deserve and work so hard for. For an administration that claims how much progress it is making in the fight against human trafficking, it is shocking how few arrests are made. And when the arrests are made, guess who is getting arrested? The victims of this heinous trade. That's who. What does that tell you? The government should be providing those that are found abandoned by the traffickers with five star hotel accommodations, dinners of lobster and steak, a profuse apology, and compensation, which they deserve after the abuse that has been heaped upon them by Thai citizens.
