Return of citizens from Myanmar

On January 20, 2024, three citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan, who had been victims of human trafficking in Myanmar, were returned to their homeland under the coordination of the Embassy of the Republic of Tajikistan in Malaysia and in cooperation with the Royal Thai authorities, the Embassy of Myanmar in Malaysia, as well as the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the International Justice Mission (IJM).

The relevant Tajik authorities are carrying out rehabilitation and psychological work with these citizens and are taking the necessary preventative measures to prevent similar situations in the future.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan therefore expresses its gratitude to the authorities of Thailand and Myanmar, as well as to the International Organisation for Migration and the International Justice Mission, for their assistance in protecting the rights and interests of Tajik citizens and facilitating their return home.
