"...This testimony is based on interviews conducted by Fortify Rights in the last year with hundreds of eye witnesses and survivors of abuses, including with Rohingya men and women in Rakhine State in western Myanmar, Thailand, and Malaysia, and with ethnic Kachin and Shan civilians in areas affected by armed conflict in northern Myanmar. We also interviewed more than a dozen brokers and human traffickers directly involved in, or knowledgeable of, human trafficking in the aforementioned countries as well as Thai officials and their associates."
