Thailand on Monday handed over to Myanmar a Myanmar national wanted in his home country for alleged involvement in human trafficking.
Ranong Governor Suriyan Kanjanasil presided over the hand over. Myanmar was represented by immigration officials of Koh Song province opposite Ranong.
The suspect was identified only as Zhi who the governor said was a prime suspect and wanted in Myanmar, where he was accused of being a front man in a forced labour racket in the fishery industry.
Some 300 Myanmar citizens filed complaints with Myanmar authorities, saying that they paid fees to Zhi who promised them construction and general work only to be forced to work in fishing vessels. (Courtesy of The Nation)
