SADAO: -- The first batch of 12 Thai women detained in Malaysia as witnesses in a human trafficking case since last September have been released and returned to Thailand on Thursday.

 

The women whose identities were not disclosed were escorted by Malaysian officials to the Thai customs checkpoint in Sadao district of Songkhla and handed over to Thai officials led by Rear Admiral Somkiart Pholprayoon, deputy secretary-general of Southern Border Provinces Administration Centre.

 

The rear admiral told the Press that the centre learned about the arrest of 21 Thai women who went to Malaysia to work on November 5 and was instructed by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha to coordinate with the Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur to visit the women and to try to secure their release.

"detained as witnesses"

this was probably to make sure they testify "correctly"

Nearer the truth probably that they went to Malaysia to ' sell their wares ' just like they do in all other countries in the region. You only have to walk down Orchard road in Singapore!!

 

They sure as hell do not look like ' human trafficking victims ' whenever I have seen them in various countries. Economic migrants would be more apt.

Those that do walk down Orchard Road at night are probably not "girls" but another kind of "girls", guess it was probably dark when u saw them at night, so u couldn't tell the difference.
