What Happens On The Chinese Fishing Boats? Shocking

Recently, just a couple of days back, the Indonesian police have charged four executives at Indonesian recruitment agencies in connection with the alleged torturing to death of an Indonesian crew member found in a freezer aboard a #ChineseFishing #Vessel. These #Indonesian executives used to hire Indonesian locals for Chinese employers. One 20-year-old Hasan Apriadi, an Indonesian died last month on a Chinese ship. 

A Chinese supervisor on the Lu Huang Yuan Yu 118 vessel has also been booked in Apriadi's death and for assaulting another Indonesian crew. Chinese fishing industry is riddled with forced labour and exploited workers face non-payment, overwork, violence, and death. Southeast Asia is a major source of such labour and crooked recruiters aim at the poor and illiterate with assurances of good wages at sea.
