Thai Fishing Industry: Abuses Continue In Unpoliced Waters, Greenpeace Claims
by The Daily Eye Team December 16 2016, 1:53 pm Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 28 secsAn international crackdown on human rights abuses in the Thai fishing industry has resulted in vessels travelling thousands of miles further into remote and lawless waters, where trafficked men continue to be beaten and sold at sea, a 12-month Greenpeace investigation alleges. According to the report, published on Thursday, seafood caught by such vessels is largely illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) and has entered the supply chains of multiple companies producing food for global export, including to the UK, in clear violation of international labour, supply and fishing codes.
