The loooong arm. Pluck
Does anyone know what happened to all the other Thai high rankers that were running this murderous major slave smuggling operation?
Charges quiety dropped? Early released?

Or not? There was big-time UN/international weight for Thailand to shut it down and to follow "international conventions", so maybe all those admirals and generals will still be languishing for a while yet.
