Bangkok: On Saturday ( Feb. 22 ), Myanmar issued the third batch of a major crackdown on the illegal operations, which will repatriate more than 100 Chinese scam center workers through Thailand.
Over the upcoming weeks, lots of foreigners are expected to return from Myanmar’s scam-related residences, with the first two batches now arriving on Thursday and Friday.
Many of the people who claim they were trafficked and forced to deceive people around the world in long online scams say they are run by legal gangs and employ foreigners.
A second group of 111 Taiwanese citizens was handed over on Saturday via the Thailand-Myanmar Friendship Bridge 2 at the Thai border village of Mae Sot, according to a statement from Myanmar’s dictatorship.
Live video from the Thai media store The Writers showed passengers getting off a Southern China Airlines plane from two double-decker instructors, related to what AFP journalists on Thursday witnessed.
It said that the first 50 Chinese nationals boarded a 10.40 am ( 0340 GMT ) flight, with the rest expected to depart on two additional flights throughout the day.
On Saturday, Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai described the hoax heart problem as a” difficult international murder”.
He stated in a blog on his official Twitter account that he had instructed older Thai police to strengthen border control measures, as well as halting fuel supplies and cutting off electricity to alleged scam hubs on the Myanmar side.
Many of those who were free from fraud centers claim they were duped into doing so and held against their will, but the Chinese government and state media have called them all” suspects.”
On Friday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun hailed the” thunder-style cooperation” between China, Myanmar and Thailand to tackle the scam areas.
