About the Publication (as taken from back cover):

From a call to rescue Oem Borey, a Cambodian national who had “jumped ship” in Tanjung Manis, Sarawak, Tenaganita, working along side UNIAP and LICADHO (a Cambodian NGO), went on to rescue and ensure the safe repatriation of sixty other trafficked Cambodian fisherman in Sarawak.

As horrendous as the testimonies of Oem Borey, Chhay & ‘Zaw Tun’ are, they barely crack the surface of the greater injustices faced by fishermen out in the rough seas, held captive by recruiters and Captain of fishing trawlers. As this was a new and complex issues, it was a challenge to respond to the numerous issues faced by trafficked fishermen.
