Thailand-malaysia Border

A Thai court's examination of 500 witnesses in a case against 88 suspected human traffickers will take as long as two years, a court official said today, meaning verdicts in a case that sparked an international outcry are even further away.

Dozens of people arrested in Thailand's human trafficking crackdown, including a senior general, appeared in court today, days after the police officer in charge of the investigation tendered his resignation saying he feared for his life.
