Portrait of Aung Naing, former fishing vessel worker from Burma who was left stranded in Ambon, Maluku province, Indonesia.

The forced labour and trafficking survivors interviewed by Greenpeace Southeast Asia detailed beatings and food deprivation for anyone who tried to escape. The tuna fishermen on their vessels were forced to work 20-22 hour days for little to no pay, often deprived of basic necessities like showers.
