Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has pledged to speed up investigations of human trafficking cases which involve corrupt officials.
"The number of trafficking cases involving state officials has increased since 2014 [due to increased suppression], but the investigations should be making faster progress. The authorities have to solve their cases more quickly," he said.
According to the prime minister, 150 suspects have been identified in connection with the trafficking of Rohingya migrants after authorities cracked down on detention camps in Padang Besar, Songkhla province, in early 2015. Of the 150, at least 89 have been arrested, including government officials, police, militants, local politicians and influential figures. (Courtesy of bangkokpost.com)
