Thailand and the daily travail of human trafficking...

Just behind the immigration officers' desks, several rows of men, wearing identical shirts, were sitting, or rather, squatting on th ground.

They were Bangladeshis who were being repatriated by the International Organization of Migration (IOM) after they had been found in Thailand - victims of human traffickers.

I say rows of men, but some of them were just boys.

One of them, Shojib Hassan, told me he was beaten and tortured repeatedly while in the hands of his captors.

Shojib said he was only 16. He looked younger. Full story...
