Murderous Thai thugs
July 3, 2009
Joel Brinkley, a former Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign correspondent for The New York Times, sounds off about the unconscionable, “almost daily” murder of migrants in Thailand.
Don’t ever accept an invitation to go fishing in Thailand. You might not come back.
Almost daily, bodies are washing ashore along the coasts of Thailand, Malaysia, Burma, Cambodia. These are unfortunate migrants, most of them from here in Cambodia. These people were sold to Thai fishermen who took them out to sea, worked them until they starved to death and then threw them overboard. It happens all the time.
As Brinkley reports, the Thais have done absolutely zero to try and curb this practice.
