More than 5,300 people are still trapped in online scam centres near the Thai border in Myanmar, a human rights group says, over one year after thousands were freed during a multinational crackdown in the region.
In a June 22 letter to Thai police urging them to take action, the Civil Society Network for Human Trafficking Victim Assistance (CSNHTV) said many of those trapped were foreign nationals held at four locations inside areas controlled by a Myanmar militia.
