Slave boat seized off Indonesia

The Indonesian Navy has seized a fishing boat that used slave labour. The Navy acted after a tip-off by the Associated Press who told them that the Thai-owned ship had been previously used to traffic slave labour and had entered the country's waters. Zoe Murphy from the Outside Source spoke to Martha Mendoza an AP journalist working on the investigation.
