flag UN warns of mass trafficking in Southeast Asia scam centers, where victims face torture, forced labor, and exploitation.

flag The UN Human Rights Office has issued a stark warning about widespread scam centers in Southeast Asia and beyond, where hundreds of thousands have been trafficked into forced labor, enduring torture, sexual abuse, starvation, and "water prisons." flag The report, based on survivor accounts from multiple countries, reveals these operations—often fortified with armed guards—are linked to global online fraud and involve coercion, forced violence, and exploitation. flag Many victims were deceived by false job offers, and some law enforcement officials were found complicit. flag The UN calls for coordinated rescues, protection from retaliation, rehabilitation, and an end to criminalizing survivors.
