Rescue of 300+ enslaved fishermen prompts Benjina evacuation
An AP investigation prompted Indonesian officials to evacuate about 320 Burmese migrant workers from Benjina island after confirming abuse at sea and on trawlers. Men described beatings, near-starvation, and forced labor as Thai captains and an enforcer kept control. They were housed for immigration processing as Myanmar officials prepare to assist in repatriation.
