Thailand to send back trafficking victims, assist on migration to third country

 

 

BANGKOK, 24 July 2017 (NNT) – Thailand has prioritized on human trafficking cases involving Rohingya people in accordance to human rights principles, and is set to return trafficking victims to their country of origin, says the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

Ministry of Foreign Affair's Director-General of the Department of Information Busadee Santipitaks has addressed the return of Rohingya people involved in human trafficking cases back to their country of origin, saying that the Thai government has been providing protection to the victims and has provided them with healthcare, occupation opportunities, and is working to assist their return home or their migration to a third country. 

She has said trafficking victims are legally allowed to stay in Thailand for 2 years after the conclusion of case proceedings, according to the Cabinet's resolution on 13 December 2017. 

The Thai government has been working with the country of origin to send back trafficking victims who chose to return, and has been collaborating with the United Nations High Commissioner For Refugee (UNHCR) and International Organization for Migration (IOM) for victims who wishes to migrate to a third country. 

Thailand has also provided 245 translators to assist the victims including people from Myanmar, Rohingya, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The Thai government has also given special priority to the protection of child trafficking victims by providing special training to related officials.

Another load of nonsense, this time coming from the M.F.A.

Thailand does not care about trafficked people, and never has.

Trafficked people are just another way for officials, senior army officers to make money.

This is just another government smoke screen.

Translated: Lock the victims, who don't have visas, in squalid jails and then unceremoniously deport them.

next the Thais will turn the death camps into places for tourist to visit.

"I spent the day looking for human bones in the jungle and enjoyed digging graves just like the real thing. They even chained us to a tree. The kids loved it."

Best not give the Tour operators any ideas.  With the abject exploitation of groups like the Karens, I don't put it past Thai Tour operators to find another freak show to hype.  This may be way too close to reality.  Probably start light, like running tours to concentration camps full of 'illegals' who came looking for 'legal' jobs and then exploited by Thai employers who received a slap on the wrist.
