Flashermac Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Bangkok Post 22 Aug 2009 Officials of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) rescued eight young Vietnamese women from forced prostitution at a karaoke in a hotel in Betong district of Yala province yesterday. DSI deputy director-general Narat Sawetanant said DSI officials rescued eight Vietnamese women aged 17-21 from the Kiss Me karaoke at Holiday Hill Hotel on Phakdi Road in Betong district, Yala. Pol Col Narat, who is also the DSI spokesman, said the women were confined on the second floor of the karaoke and were forced into prostitution. DSI officials also arrested Mrs Lang Chunhui, a 46-year-old Chinese, who possessed a list of aliens, three bank books and a notebook recording wage payments. She was suspected of being a procurer at the karaoke, which is believed to be a front for prostitution. The DSI is working on a return the eight Vietnamese women with the Vietnamese embassy in Thailand. Pol Col Narat said the raid at the hotel was launched at the request of Vietnamese police, who approached their Thai counterparts through the Vietnamese embassy in Bangkok. Vietnamese police had arrested a gang of human traffickers in Vietnam and learned that Vietnamese women had been lured into forced prostitution in Thailand. Human traffickers kept the passports of their victims and forced the women into prostitution. Those who run the karaoke are Chinese Malaysians. DSI police are looking for three more suspects believed to be involved. Pol Col Narat added that officials at the Lao embassy in Bangkok had also asked the DSI to rescue Lao women lured into forced prostitution in Thailand.
