Summary
Foyas, 20, and Ula Mya, 43, fled internment camps in Myanmar in 2013, boarding a
ship they believed would take them to Malaysia. Thai authorities raided their group and
detained them for nine months before transferring them to human traffickers. Traffickers,
in turn, enslaved and tortured them for approximately three weeks in a remote camp in
Thailand, demanding 6,800 Ringgit (US$2,000) for their release.
