About 470 people are sheltered in the camp, where the already harsh living conditions are damaged, two African nationals who are detained there told Reuters.

In recent weeks, the authorities in China, Thailand and Myanmar have tried to dismantle the scam centers and border online operations, part of a network of South Asia -EST compounds, where hundreds of thousands have been trafficked, according to the United Nations.

“We can barely eat twice a day. Sometimes, twice, sometimes once,” said a 29-year-old man from a central African country, who was moved to the camp on February 15th.

“The ladies do not have access to any sanitary pad. We need to use at most five toilets for about 500 people.”

Another prisoner, a 39-year-old man in an East Africa country, accused DKBA of not taking care of humans and said, “We live like animals.”

Asked for comments on detainees’ observations, the DKBA official saw San Aug told Reuters that the armed group tried to help those snatched from deceitful compounds and have the best intentions, providing two meals a day.

“It could be true that they did not have enough toilets,” he said. “There are a lot of people and we do our best.”

Although operational for years, illegal compounds are now the target of multi-national repression after the abduction of a Chinese actor from Thailand in January.

From an initial group of scam workers launched he entered Thailand in February, Thai authorities accelerated the cross -border movement, allowing only those people to come to countries whose countries have taken arrangements for repatriation.

The Foreign Ministry of Thailand said on Friday that it will allow foreign embassies to check their citizens in Myanmar.

The 29 -year -old prisoner, who spoke to Reuters, said he contacted this week’s Embassy of Central Africa in China, this week, seeking help, but he was told that he and his countrymen will have to arrange their tickets to leave Thailand.

The Beijing Embassy did not respond immediately to an Email requesting comments.

The detention in the East -African country said that the Nation’s Embassy in Tokyo offered similar directions, but he and others had no funds to pay their tickets.

“I spent almost three months in the jungle,” he said, referring to his time to a scam. “I have no financial support from outside.”

He said that Panic begins to catch a few detainees in the DKBA camp because of the prospect of being sent back to the scam centers, where witnesses said that constraint and torture are lively.

“We do not know what happens, when we leave this place,” said the 29 -year -old man.
