"I thought it would be great to go for a trip and see the country!" How a Belarusian woman found herself in labor slavery in Myanmar

A citizen of Belarus was released from labor captivity in Myanmar with the active participation of Belarusian diplomats and not only. The operation on her evacuation lasted several months.

The Belarusian woman got to Myanmar in November 2023, but was able to get back to Belarus only in March. "Last week, a citizen of Belarus, who got into a life-threatening situation in the territory of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, has safely returned home. A set of measures for her release was carried out by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs and Defense of Myanmar. A favorable resolution of the situation would be impossible without the active actions of our honorary consulates in Bangkok and Yangon, as well as consultations with our Kazakh and Russian colleagues," Ambassador of Belarus to Vietnam Vladimir Borovikov told the reporters.
