A civic culture organization reported on Friday that eleven female people are among the more than 2,400 people who have been pulled out of fake homes in Myanmar and are urgently in need of skilled care in Thailand.

According to Jay Kritiya, a representative for the Citizens Network for Human Trafficking Victims, the 11 people are being cared for in a tent where there are harsh living conditions, little access to food, and few opportunities for medical care.

” There were 12 people who are three to four months pregnant,” Jay claimed. One of them miscarried two days ago.

According to local media reports, some of the women have claimed that murder was the cause of their pregnancies while working as prisoner workers for the call-center scam companies.

Thailand is leading a local effort to eradicate fraud centers along its edges, which are a part of a South Asian fraud network that operates in several nations and uses victims of scams frequently carried out by criminal gangs, according to the United Nations.

Thailand has been coordinating efforts for the past few weeks to return 7, 372 people from about 20 different countries from the Myanmar fraud operations, many of whom have been to China.

More than 2, 400 people were still waiting to be returned to their home states, according to the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday.

The Democrat Karen Benevolent Army-run station where the pregnant women were kept was visited by the Citizens Network for Human Trafficking Victims on March 15.

The army group claimed that despite having limited resources and needing assistance for those in need of skilled attention, the DKBA was still providing enough care for others. The organization has requested that Thai government move those in need to Tak state on the Thai side of the border.

The demand was relayed to all appropriate Thai officials on Wednesday by the National Human Rights Commission.

According to the top police general in charge of Thailand’s fight against the deceiving system, 100, 000 people are still operating in the Thai-Myanmar border, according to the top police common leading Thailand’s operations this week.

According to preliminary studies, plenty of those who have pulled out so far have deliberately entered the centers, according to Pol Gen Thatcher Pitaneelaboot, an inspector-general with the Royal Thai Police.
