In a significant regional crackdown on scam operations, over 7,000 workers from various countries are now in a precarious situation, waiting for repatriation after being freed from scam centers in Myanmar. Many have shared harrowing experiences of abuse, including electric shocks and torture, while others continue to face uncertainty regarding their return home. The implications of the crackdown extend to those stuck on the Thai-Myanmar border, where individuals from multiple nationalities, including Japanese and Chinese, remain unaccounted for. Rescued individuals are now calling for urgent assistance as they navigate a slow and challenging repatriation process amid ongoing investigations into the scam networks.
