Twelve People who had been duped into working in Myanmar by a call center crew entered Thailand on Friday after receiving a rescue.
After the Moroccan embassy in Bangkok pleaded with the Thai authorities and relevant authorities to assist in the rescue of 21 Moroccans held prisoner in the Myawaddy district by con artists who con people all over the world into working for them, they were free.
Rangsiman Rome, a member of the Move Forward Party, asked the army to help with the recovery mission in his power as the president of a House committee on state safety.
He claimed that the military negotiated with their prisoners and reached out to the victims, leading to the release of 12 people. Seven people had already been released after kickbacks were paid, while the other two refused to leave Myawaddy, said Mr Rangsiman.
” I’d like to thank the troops again. Without them, we would n’t have been able to rescue the Moroccans”, he said.
The military said in a statement that it spoke with a number of bases and non-governmental organizations after receiving a hint from Mr. Rangsiman. The 21 victims were later discovered to be held hostage in a game across the Phob Phra area in Tak state.
The Political Karen Buddhist Army contacted the military to talk to the bar’s owner about negotiating. The military confirmed that the 12 Citizens had been saved and had arrived in Thailand at 10am on Friday.
On May 17, the Moroccan ambassador wrote to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the troops, the Department of Special Investigation, and the Bangkok-based Myanmar embassy in Bangkok asking for assistance.
No progress was made, so the official visited Fair Party MP Kannavee Suebsang and Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.
The victims were given jobs at an e-commerce company in Thailand, according to the anti-human trafficking organization Exodus Road, with starting salaries of about US$ 1, 000 ( 36, 000 baht ).
However, they were later taken across the frontier where they were pressured into call-center work where they were instructed to trick Moroccan citizens into giving them their income.
