Police screening of Myanmar scam returnees needs expert input - Kannavee

23 Sept 00:36 Key points summarised by AI

Opposition MP Kannavee Suebsang urges an interdisciplinary approach to screening Myanmar scam returnees, stating that police alone cannot handle the sensitive and complex process.
He emphasizes the need for professional personnel to accurately apply the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) to categorize returnees, ensuring precise identification of victims.
Kannavee's call follows conflicting statements from a police chief regarding the victim status of returnees, highlighting the inherent difficulty and potential for error in current screening methods.
He stresses that many individuals reported to have 'willingly' worked in scam centers might have been coerced, tortured, or tricked, necessitating a more nuanced and expert assessment.
