Two of the young women allegedly trafficked to Georgia are seen on their return to Thailand earlier this week. Dozens more are still believed to be captives of an ?egg farm? in the former Soviet republic, according to the Pavena Hongsakul Foundation. Thailand and Georgia said they are investigating a human trafficking ring that a Thai non-governmental organisation says is engaged in harvesting human eggs of Thai women brought to the South Caucasus country. Georgia?s interior ministry said on Thursday it had repatriated three Thai women who it said had been working as surrogate mothers in the country. It said four foreign nationals had been questioned as part of the inquiry. Georgia does not have specific laws regarding surrogacy. However, companies operating there advertise their services and surrogacy arrangements are considered legal contracts. The Georgia government has stated it is in the process of declaring it illegal.
