(Photo supplied by the Tourist Police Bureau)A Ugandan man wanted for alleged human trafficking has been arrested in Bangkok, but five of his countrymen also named on arrest warrants have managed to flee the country. The investigation found that six of the Ugandans were involved in human trafficking and warrants were obtained for their arrest. Of the other 22 Ugandans, three were deemed "victims" of human trafficking - having been smuggled into the country and forced to work as prostitutes. The two Thais were charged with other offences, said Pol Maj Gen Surachate. The coordinated raids were the 12th phase of the police operation X-Ray Outlaw Foreigner.
