MALAYSIAN TRAPPED
700 MALAYSIANS TRAPPED IN ABUSIVE LAOS SCAM CENTERS
Human rights groups in Malaysia say some 700 nationals may now be trapped in online scam
centers across Laos under threat of beatings and electric shock if they fail to meet work
targets or try to leave their guarded compounds.
The case highlights what the United Nations and others describe as a rising tide of young men and women being lured into — and trapped in — brutal online scam operations across the
Mekong region of Southeast Asia.
The Malaysian International Humanitarian Organization says the number of nationals stuck in Laos is based on reports from some of the trapped victims it and two other Malaysian rights groups have been in contact with by phone and text over the past few months, plus a few who have managed to escape or negotiate their release.
“They’ve been tortured mentally and physically,” the group’s secretary-general, Hishamuddin
Hashim, told VOA.
“IF THEY DON’T WANT TO WORK, THEY WILL BE BEA TEN…. SOME OF THEM [HA VE] BEEN ELECTROCUTED … BY ELECTRIC SHOCK, ” HE ADDED, ALL “TO FORCE AND TO PUNISH THOSE WHO CANNOT ACHIEVE THE T ARGET
AND THOSE WHO WANT TO RETURN
BACK TO [THEIR] HOME COUNTRY.”
