Operations to repatriate foreign nationals freed from scam centers in Myanmar continued on Thursday. Authorities have started to transport Indonesians to Thailand, and from there they will head home.



About 80 have been taken across the border to the Thai city of Mae Sot.



Last week, hundreds of Chinese were repatriated. Thai authorities say they plan to move other foreign nationals in phases.



But they warn that some of the freed could be people from organized crime groups responsible for running the centers near the Myanmar border.



An armed ethnic minority group controlling the area says it has released more than 7,100 foreigners from the scam centers since January. A senior member of the group, called BGF, tells NHK that a young Japanese man was found Wednesday night.



The group says many people are still being held inside Myanmar. It says it is struggling to secure facilities to detain such large numbers of people.



The BGF member says some foreigners have attempted to escape its facility. He said the group will expand its forces to monitor the people freed from the centers.



In a related development, NHK has obtained footage taken from inside of one of the compounds, called KK Park.



The video was shot on Wednesday and shows a large number of people from outside Myanmar packed together. Armed BGF members keep watch.



The footage also shows some people who were released on Wednesday, saying they don't like the work there.



The footage also shows packed bunk beds. Bedding is seen scattered around.



On the wall, Chinese words say: "Our performance is dignity. Our performance proves the value of our presence."



A casino advertisement on a building wall says "fairness and justice" in Chinese.
