Are there good reasons to be anti-free trade?

There are numerous reports coming out of Thailand and Burma that there’s slavery going on (particularly in the fishing industry). Here’s one example:

I’ve got more if you want it.

Just to head this off, though, since everyone keeps lying in this thread:

I haven’t made any claims about how widespread this is. What I’ve said is that I’m concerned about this, and if someone is advocating free trade, they need to tell me how to address this concern.

I’ll bother you to make a claim then. Because if you want people to address your concern regarding what’s widely recognised as a effective mechanism for increasing overall prosperity (I take it you’re not debating this point?), it falls on you to first establish the concern is valid.
