Six more HKers rescued from Southeast Asian scam farm

Six more Hongkongers detained at scam farms in Southeast Asia have been rescued, according to sources. The six were said to include three men and three women.

Hong Kong’s Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung was said to have called off his scheduled plans and flew to Thailand on Thursday to handle the matter.

The security chief will return to the city today and will meet the press at Hong Kong International Airport at around 5pm.

The Security Bureau said last month that nine Hongkongers are still being detained in Southeast Asian scam parks. Of those detained, eight are in Myanmar and one in Cambodia.
