COLOMBO (News 1st); The Myanmar Home Affairs Minister has agreed to negotiate a terror group operating in the Thailand-Myanmar border to secure the release of Sri Lankans held in cyber slave camps.

This was confirmed by the Sri Lankan Ambassador to Myanmar. 

A chilling discovery on Google Maps has led to the uncovering of a horrific cyber slavery operation holding captive over 50 Sri Lankan youths in a camp dubbed the "Cyber Criminal Area" at the Thailand-Myanmar border.

This remote jungle outpost, 25 kilometers from Myaweddi city in Myanmar, sits under the complete control of a terrorist group. 

Young Sri Lankans, lured by promises of IT jobs in Thailand, were transported with tourist visas and allegedly sold to become cyber slaves.

Forced to impersonate women on social media and ensnare victims in online scams, these captives endured physical and psychological abuse, were deprived of basic necessities, and were subjected to beatings for failing to meet quotas.
