BANGKOK, 7 May 2015 -The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) does not believe the discovery of Rohingya corpses in Songklha will affect Thailand’s ranking on the U.S. human trafficking watch list.
MFA Spokesperson Sek Wannamethee has stated that the incident is unlikely to further demote Thailand in the Trafficking In Persons Report (TIP) as many have anticipated.
According to the spokesperson, the U.S. has already reviewed its report on the Thai efforts in eradicating human trafficking on March 31st. The U.S. is not expected to consider revising the ranking anytime soon.
