The monsters keep dissenters in a water jail, where they are left in neck-deep water for 24 hours. The victims cannot come out, sleep, take rest or do anything else as this water jail is heavily guarded by their private army who wield deadly weapons,” said a man who is still held captive in a slave camp in Myanmar. Meanwhile, three Mumbai-based men, who were forced into slavery, have paid around 2,000 US dollars each for their freedom and returned to the city on Monday night.

In case the target opts for a video call to check, we are told to handover the phone to a woman Thai model who is in the know.”
