They arrived in Yangon on Friday with cooperation between the two countries' police forces including Interpol National Central Bureau (Abu Dhabi), it said.
According to an investigation, a trafficking ring of Myanmar nationals living in Dubai persuaded the victims to get high-paid jobs in Dubai and planned to sell them to other countries, said the report.
The victims arrived in Dubai over three months ago without getting a job and were locked in a small room before they escaped recently.
Police rescued the victims after their Facebook live appealing for help went viral, it said.
Three suspects, a Myanmar national living in Dubai and two others from Yangon who are in connection with the case were arrested, the report said. - Bernama
