Authorities in Myanmar successfully rescued 46 Kenyans from human trafficking networks where they were being held by a suspected Chinese cartel scamming people online.

The rescue, confirmed by Kenya’s Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs on Tuesday, came just days after 24 others were rescued in a similar mission last week, from a batch of 261 foreigners released following months of negotiations.
