Bangkok’s international embassies will be given a meeting at the Royal Thai Police (RTP ) to discuss how to identify human trafficking victims from a group of at least 260 foreigners who have recently been rescued from Thailand’s neighboring nations.
According to Pol Gen Thatchai Pitaneelaboot, chairman of the RTP’s Anti-Human Smuggling Center and Police Cyber Taskforce, the offices will also be asked to provide information to the RTP regarding the citizens of Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos who have been rescued from Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos.
Their suggestions, along with more details from the RTP’s legal database and ongoing studies, may be important in separating the true victims from any smugglers who pretend to be victims, he said.
The Philippines, has previously supplied the RTP with some details, he added.
Hunderte of people have been saved, which demonstrates how the elimination of international fraud gangs in these nations has worked, according to Pol Gen Thatchai.
” I think Thailand has a successful technique to separate actual human trafficking victims from the culprits,” he said. He claimed that it’s unfair to let these criminals who are now blatant victims continue to spread lies.
More people will appear in Thailand as a result of efforts to stop the contact center fraud groups in Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos, he said, but not all of them may be treated as victims of human trafficking, he added.
Four Chinese nationals were detained in a new crackdown as they attempted to enter a neighboring nation without the customary border checkpoint.
Eventually, it was discovered that they were a part of a human trafficking crew.
