Portrait of Kyaw Moe Thu from Myanmar, stranded in Ambon, Maluku province, Indonesia. He is a victim of trafficking and forced labour.

Min Min Thein and Kyaw Moe Thu were deceived by brokers with the promise of good jobs in onshore industries. They were forcibly confined in locked rooms or under armed guard as they awaited departure, against their will, to Indonesian waters. Both were forced to work aboard fishing vessels supplying Marine One, a reefer that transported tuna and other marine fish to one of Thailand’s main export-oriented seafood processing hubs.
