A Guardian investigation has linked Thailand's fishing industry with the vast transnational trafficking syndicates profiting from the misery of some of the most persecuted people on Earth.

Hundreds of Rohingya migrants were sold from jungle camps on to Thai fishing boats producing seafood sold across the globe. As Thailand's fishing sector faces crisis, fishermen are also moving closer to the traffickers, converting their boats to carry people and facilitating huge off-shore trafficking camps.

Heartbreaking because these men are just trying to make money for their families!

People do know right, that this human trafficking problem is not only in Thailand. It is a big chain/organisation with the sole purpose if making money. I feel that there is more substance behind this. And boycotting a country doesn't necessary fix these problems.

I just hope there is actually someone in the world who is rich enough to stop this. If governments won't do anything and other big NGO's, then apparently, a handful well-selected mercenaries can get this down. Money is just the key to almost everything.

Except there are only about 800,000 number of boat people leaving Vietnam and arriving safely in another country in total. So how can there be one million in Thailand alone 🤨

Slavery will keep on growing, given the race to the bottom on wages in the Developing World and super-market price-wars in the Developed World -are creating enormous deflationary pressures. Unfettered Competition is not healthy, it more often than not leads to slavery.

The slaver's disguised voice at 10:08 reminds me of the prawn language from District 9. Also... I'm shocked to hear about this kind of abuse involved in fishing. For some reason though, I feel like I shouldn't be surprised-- in order to harvest enough fish and shrimp to satisfy global demand, what country WOULDN'T turn to slavery? I think anything that is produced in such massive volume is bound to come with a thousand terrible things-- that's "quantity over quality" for you.

The United Nations and ASEAN should condemn all of their members and take immediate steps to prosecute and execute any trade unions that engage in trafficking in persons, or any particular illegal activity which implicates the human being. Whether they are public servants or government employees is irrelevant.
