The Myanmar military has conducted a significant operation resulting in the arrest of more than 2,000 individuals at KK Park, a known scam center located on the border with Thailand. This raid, reported by state media, targeted a compound used by international criminal syndicates for illegal activities such as gambling, money laundering, and online scams.

The operation spanned over 250 low-rise buildings, which included warehouses, shophouses, and numerous one and two-story structures. During the raid, 30 Starlink satellites were also confiscated. These satellites, operated by Starlink, a subsidiary of SpaceX, provide internet connectivity even during power outages.

The authorities detained 2,198 individuals, comprising 445 women, 1,645 men, and 98 male security guards. KK Park is situated in Myawaddy Township, Kayin State, near the Thai border town of Mae Sot.

The area has been a hotspot for conflict involving Myanmar’s military, the People’s Defence Force, and ethnic Karen groups. The ongoing civil war in Myanmar, which began following the 2021 coup, has intensified these conflicts.

International Pressure and Human Trafficking Concerns

Myanmar faces pressure from neighboring countries, such as Thailand and China, to address scam center activities linked to international criminal groups. Employees at these centers often fall victim to human trafficking, promised employment but coerced into participating in online scams under exploitative conditions.

In response to these activities, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned more than 20 entities and individuals in Myanmar and Cambodia in September, associated with these scam operations.
