Thailand urged to stamp out human trafficking

  • 12 years ago
Thailand is being urged to do more to stop human trafficking where workers are bought, sold and killed if they resist oppression.

United Nations envoy Joy Ezeilo says widespread corruption and inadequate law enforcement make it easier for traffickers to exploit the poor and needy.

They come to Thailand with the help of an agent who pays for things like transport and bribes to police and son find themselves in a world of debt.
