Thailand Called to Target Myanmar Junta Over Scam Centers

he rights group Justice for Myanmar (JFM) says Thailand’s cyber scam crackdown needs to target the root causes that have allowed the criminal operations to flourish in Myanmar.

In a statement on Tuesday, JFM called on Thailand and other governments to cut off funds, arms and aviation fuel to Myanmar’s military and its militias, and hold them criminally accountable for their transnational crimes.

Under pressure from Beijing to crack down on Chinese-run cyber scam and gambling centers, Thailand cut electricity, internet and fuel to five border areas in early February.
