Thousands of Burmese 'enslaved' in Thai fishing industry

http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/news/world-asia-pacific-13189103

A BBC investigation has found that thousands of workers are illegally
trafficked from Burma to work in Thailand's fishing industry - on Thai
ships, or in factories.

Some are enslaved at sea for years without ever coming onshore, forced
to work long hours for little or no pay, or are imprisoned on land
between voyages.

Some of those who have escaped have described torture and killings by
their Thai captains.
