If you eat shrimp, you finance slavery and torture, report shows

Whether you live in Thailand or elsewhere, you might want to pause a moment before you pop that next prawn in your mouth.

If kidnapping, torture, murder and literal slavery taste good to you, then by all means, carry on.

In a deeply reported feature that opens with a 29-year-old Burmese man in Songkhla risking death to escape years of bondage, The Guardian lays out the slavery-for-shrimp supply chain from slave brokers and police to CP Group and dinner tables around the world.

The issue has been known for years, but this multimedia feature six months in the making is probably the most exhaustive report on the topic.

Read it at The Guardian.
