Myanmar fishermen give testimony in trafficking case
Fishermen who were enslaved and in some cases held captive for a decade aboard seafood trawlers in Indonesia are now taking part in a lawsuit against one of the accused companies.
The 14 Myanmar fishermen were flown back to Indonesia to serve as witnesses in the human trafficking case on 30 November.
Indonesia-based NGO Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) opened a court case against the Silver Sea Fishing Company, according to Myanmar’s Anti-Human Trafficking Police Unit. The first hearing was on 4 December.
