Human trafficking case on hold until remaining defendants are caught

The trial of five human smugglers who have been charged for trafficking children to beg in Malaysia has been delayed because two of the defendants are still at large.

Three of the smugglers have been arrested, while the other two are thought to be at large in Malaysia.

“The trial cannot begin. Anti-drug police from Nay Pyi Taw are planning to seize the two escaped traffickers by coordinating with the Malaysian police. Then, the trial will proceed,” said an officer from the Yangon Southern District court. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
