S M Mizanur Rahman :The government may get permission from the Thai government today (Tuesday) to carryout investigation whether any Bangladeshi national was rescued alive or found dead in the graves traced recently in the jungle of Thai southern region.”We have already sought Thai government permission to investigate into the incident. We are expecting Thai government’s permission in this regard tomorrow,” State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam told The New Nation on Monday.Replying to a query he said apart from Thai government, they are maintaining communications with the Bangladesh’s Ambassador to Thailand Saida Muna Tasneem to know the update.Meanwhile, four people have been apprehended and four more arrest warrants issued over human trafficking in Thailand with authorities enlarging the search for more bodies to the Andaman Sea coast from tomorrow, said a Thailand based newspaper Phuket Wan’s report on Monday. Now that 26 bodies have been detected in just one camp in Songkhla province along the Thai-Malaysia border, Thai authorities are keen to exhume other victims at both ends of the trafficking pipeline through Thailand. Tomorrow, volunteers under the direction of Takuapa district chief Manit Pleantong will begin looking for bodies at Andaman coast camps. The Governor of Phang Nga, Prayoon Rattanasenee, has supported an anti-trafficking campaign begun by Khun Manit last year. A former president of the Rohingya Association of Thailand told Bangkok Post yesterday that thousands of Rohingya people who are possibly victims of human trafficking are being kept in at least 60 detention camps scattered throughout mountains along the Thai-Malaysian border.These camps are thought to have been used in the area to hold Rohingyas and Bangladeshis in primitive conditions while ransom demands were made to their families and friends.
