Many victims died at sea at the hands of the traffickers or by suicide, jumping into open waters to escape the pain and suffering inflicted by their captors. Chapter II documents human traffickers’ abuses in human-trafficking camps along the Malaysia-Thailand border, including in Wang Kelian and in human-trafficking houses in Malaysian and Thai towns and cities. Traffickers killed and buried the bodies of trafficked victims in mass graves; in some cases, forcing captives to bury the bodies. Traffickers also inflicted pain and suffering on their captives using pipes, bats and clubs, belts, wires, tasers, nails, threats and intimidation, and other means. “When I was unable to pay the money to the men, they poured boiling water on my head and body,” said “Rahim Ullah,” a Rohingya Muslim from Myanmar’s Rakhine State, who was 16-years old when traffickers tortured him in a camp on the Malaysia-Thailand border in 2014. “They did this every day . . . My legs are no longer conscious. They are numb, and there is not enough circulation.” Traffickers in the camps denied their captives access to adequate food, water, and space, resulting in deaths, illness, and injury—including paralysis—particularly of those unable pay the money demanded by the traffickers to obtain their release. 12
