Bangladesh trafficking victims in Vanuatu plead with officials

A group of 101 migrants who are under Vanuatu police protection in the capital Port Vila are hoping for third country resettlement.

A spokesperson for the men, Shahin Khan, said they met with a representative from Bangladesh's High Commission in Australia on Monday.

He said almost all the migrants - some of whom fear they will be killed by loan sharks in Bangladesh - told the official they don't want to return home.
