Pattaya: Chinese graffiti artist arrested and in immigration detention

 

Picture: Naew Na

 

The authorities in Pattaya have arrested a Chinese man after slogans in Chinese characters started appearing all over the resort. 

 

The graffiti was at tourist areas and scenic spots on walls and pipes, reported Naew Na.

 

A cleanup operation was done as tourist and regular police and immigration hunted for the person responsible. 

 

Early this morning he was found and carried away. He had no ID and no explanation for his actions. 

 

The signs relate to the Communist Party of China and are connected to the protests ongoing in Hong Kong.

 

The man has been charged with illegal entry into Thailand and having no passport and is now in immigration detention.

Was he hiding in a coldroom .. 

"Early this morning he was found and carried away".

 

Very accurate description based on the photo.

I fear for him if he is to be deported back to China.

Looks like somebody pulled the rug out beneath him!

The cross legged crusader cruises back to China.

Do they have gofundme in Chinese?

Never a chance missed by lame pundits to exploit a story that has many unanswered angles.

I don't read Chinese, so I can't say for sure. But if his graffiti is pro-Communist Party of China (i.e. anti-Hong Kong democracy protesters) then the only thing he probably needs to fear is being put on their no travel list.

 

On the other hand, if he is a pro-democracy protester and his graffiti supports the Hong Kong protesters, then yes, I'd say he's screwed if he's deported back to China.

Some of these protestors really are not very smart.  Their actions pretty much just hurt themselves and don't change anything.

Next visit should be more easy/legal with the free visas Thailand is offering the Chinese.
