Thousands stranded after being freed from Myanmar’s scam centres | BBC News


Thousands of former workers who have been freed from telecom fraud centres on the Thai-Myanmar border are now stranded in makeshift camps.

The labourers – from countries around the world – were lured to these centres by fake promises of good jobs.

The armed militia groups who are now holding them have a very limited capacity to support so many people. One of them has said they have stopped freeing people from the compounds because they are not being moved to Thailand fast enough.

The BBC understands that conditions in the camps are unsanitary, food barely sufficient, and many of the people are in poor health.
