This picture taken on February 25, 2010 shows migrant workers from Myanmar at work in a shrimp factory in Mahachai, on the outskirts of Bangkok. More than one million migrants in Thailand face possible deportation and abuse if they fail to meet a deadline this week to register with authorities, a rights watchdog said. Thailand has ordered all citizens from neighbouring Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos to register and verify their nationality or risk deportation, as part of an ongoing clampdown on immigration.
