The problem is that a lot of the countries that have the victims sent there do not even want the victims saved because as you can see other high officials are in on it too. Operations as big as this or even drug operations are technically illegal but there is a reason they are able to survive in such big mass. Sad to say but most won’t get rescued. So I will explain it simply. So one gets scammed to Cambodia and they find out it’s a scam. The company will tell them if they want to leave, they scam 5 more people to come and they will let them go. So even if they are let go of which probably won’t happen, they’ve convinced others to come, thus they have a constant flow of workers

This type of documentry we need from you Al-Jazeera 👍😐👆

[@DaRazee]

In Cambodia, we have an old saying that: if a village ghost is not open to enter, a wild ghost won't dare! Just a direct translation (excuse me for the English), meaning the Cambo gov't just let loose those criminal especially those so called Chinese investors to come in Cambodia, handover the Sihanouk Ville for their dark side or illegal activities! These Chinese junks are building more connections with top ranking gov't officials for their back door safety and protection. Once, you are in, there's no way out, I feel pity for those who were sold and got scammed to work here, against their own wills.

[@vickyhsieh1899]

Many Taiwanese were kidnapped,slaved trying to run away but found no way. Police were bribed, if they call police,they would get more serious punishment. Very terrible.

[@leonng9926]

I feel sad and very angry about those evil people. If government can not and will not help. Then how about we gather people and hire our own mercenaries to rescue those victims?

[@doanphuongthao8720]

The same situation here in Vietnam. Many young people are cheated and becoming the slaves in Cambodia. Now the companies are expanding to Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia...

Dear Shan, many thanks for your great comment. It's the full documentary but aired in two parts on TV.

Urging all who watches this clip to share out. Alerting, prevention is our only hope that this gonna end. Its so disturbing to see what had actually happen in those camps. With some of their journey ends in some illegal organs market...

Thank you

[@kartaLaLa]

Thank you so much for voicing our the truth as some of the teenagers in Taiwan fall victim to these "oversea, high-pay jobs" ,and such a job turns out to be a nightmare for us.... Also, the gov seems rotten to the core as we see bribe anywhere even if you just want to report a simple case to the police.

[@tainanking]

Ya but the problem is the ones who got scammed are just not smart.I mean who takes a high paying job in a poor country. It’s too good to be true obviously

[@hnlgd37]

@@tainanking Can’t completely blame the ones who were innocent and Naive. Your logic is flawed in that not everyone within the population is poor across-the-board, and certainly there are gonna be businesses that do and run well too. The main thing is to get the word out more and more for public and authorities and people to be aware of these kind of crimes that have happened and to hopefully arrest ASAP and/or prevent as much as possible.

[@tainanking]

@@hnlgd37 no. I didn't say that they were dumb. I'm just saying they weren't smart. Because as I said, it's not as if it was totally forced am I correct? They didn't get kidnapped off the street in their home country and forced right? They took a job listing in another country and even went over there. There are many walls to pass and even then they still took the huge risk? As I will say, it just wasn't smart regardless lol

[@hnlgd37]

@@tainanking My first comment still stands, your 'lol' is overly immature and unnecessary. I hope and trust further justice will come through, especially with public attention/awareness now, peace and regards.

[@HWDragonborn]

@@hnlgd37 if you can't find high paying jobs in your country, then there is no way you can find it in a country that is less economically developed than yours. Cambodia can't even provide employment to its citizens, let alone foreigners.

[@leopoldslikkvstamkiu8718]

It is not just only Taiwanese, it is also related to international matters. Cambodia had literally created mass criminal base by invested by some mainlanders. Looked like south east Asia is no longer safe anymore.

I don't know what to do about this but somebody needs to stop these people from being hurt so much

[@bibobagginses]

The authorities need to work together to stop corruption and smuggling people. But it's hard because the people involved have so much money and connection to power. I feel you, Cambodia.
