Khatun, 25, fled jungle camp in Thailand close to where mass migrant grave of Rohingya, Bangladeshis was discovered.
A Muslim Rohingya woman allegedly held captive and tortured in a Thai jungle camp has told local media that the last time she saw her child was when the chance came to escape.
“They said police were coming. Everybody ran. But I couldn’t run because I was too sick to move,” Rohima Khatun told the Bangkok Post on Tuesday.
As others fled from the camp, she continued to stumble down the mountain until local villagers found her.
I have no idea where my 10-year-old daughter is, she said.
The 25-year-old was discovered in Songkhla province, close to a camp where 26 bodies thought to be Rohingya and Bangladeshi trafficking victims were unearthed over the weekend.
Thailand has since been working to track down those responsible, while police said Tuesday that they had found another migrant grave site containing five graves.
Khatun told reporters that she been held in the camp for around four months before she managed to escape.
“I was beaten many times,” she said from the Songkhla hospital where she is currently receiving medical care.
Khatun said she was taken from somewhere in Myanmar and detained in the jungle camp around four months ago.
She added that approximately 400 people were held in the camp, mostly Rohingya and Bangladeshis.
