Former Thai Army General Guilty Of Human Trafficking

A former general in the Thai Army, Manas Kongpan, was the highest ranking official to be found guilty in the country's largest human trafficking trial. More than one hundred defendants were accused of trafficking Bangladeshi nationals and Rohingya Muslims. More than forty have been found guilty of kidnapping, murder and rape.
