Humanity Enemy Thai Officials Sell Burmese Refugees to Human Traffickers

An investigation revealed that Thai officials have been selling boat people from Burma to human traffickers.

Thousands of Muslims have fled to sea in recent months after deadly communal violence in Rakhine State, with many heading East across the Andaman Sea to Thailand.

The BBC found that boats were being intercepted by the Thai navy and police, with deals then made to sell the people on to traffickers who transport them South towards Malaysia.

The Thai government say they are taking the allegations seriously and have promised to investigate.
