Three Rakhine migrant workers,
working at a fishing boat of Pattani in southern Thailand, died on 31 March while retrieving fishes from
the boat, said the Migrant
Worker’s Rights Network (MWRN).
The victims, identified as Maung San Hla alias Nga Prat Chay, Nyi Nyi and Kyaw Win Maung, all hail from Le
Nyin Taung village under Mrauk-U township
of Rakhine State, died because of suffocation.
They died getting down into the store unit of the fishing boat by 9 pm. The boat was about to arrive at the
shore after a 10-day fishing trip
in Pattani locality.
According to the other boatmen,
the fishes were covered by the ice and salt,
which normally forms the gas if fishes are not washed and drained properly.
The Social Security Administration (Parksangkhum) will provide nearly one million and eighty thousands Thai
baht per person from the insurance
coverage.
The families are in touch with the MWRN and the victims are scheduled for cremation at Pattani’s Wat Lam Noh monastery.
