Burmese Migrants Sent for Deportation Trafficked in Thailand


9 December 2011
Four Burmese migrant workers who were among 39 persons trafficked in Thailand 
while being sent for deportation were released from captivity this week when police 
and human rights activists raided a shrimp factory in southern Thailand. 

Sompong Sakaew, the director of the Labor Rights Protection Network, told  
The Irrawaddy on Friday that the four women were rescued following a tip-off from 
the victims during a 3 pm raid of the shrimp factory by local police and human 
rights activists on December 7.
