Fifteen Sri Lankan nationals have been rescued from cybercrime camps in Myanmar, the Sri Lankan Embassy in Myanmar has confirmed.
The rescued individuals have been safely transported to the Friendship Bridge at the Thailand-Myanmar border. However, four more Sri Lankans remain in captivity, with efforts underway to secure their release and ensure their safe return home.
The cybercrime camps in Myanmar are notorious for their brutal conditions, where captives are forced into online scams under the constant threat of violence and exploitation. These camps, often controlled by armed groups operating with impunity, are located in remote areas, making rescue missions extremely challenging.
