The military deployed troops on Friday to support government efforts to crack down on forced labour and human trafficking in the fishing industry nationwide.
National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) spokesman Col Winthai Suwaree said the NCPO Maintaining Force is working with police and local bodies to conduct nationwide inspections of factories suspected of violating the labour protection law.
The move comes after the government received information that some operators in the fishing industry continue to defy the law.
On Nov 9, the Department of Special Investigation, along with police, soldiers and local authorities raided a shrimp-peeling shed in Samut Sakhon's Muang district after a Myanmar worker who managed to escape alerted them of terrible working conditions. (Courtesy of Bangkok Post: News)
