Hunt on for foreigners after daring escape from immigration detention centre

 

"Planning it for months"
"Rubbed soap on the metal to rust it then escaped from the cells" 

Picture: Sanook

 

Huge resources including immigration police, regular police, soldiers and sniffer dogs were combing an area near a Mae Sot detention center yesterday after two illegal immigrants from Turkey escaped.

 

Sanook called them a couple of very smart guys. 

 

Moorat, 41, and Rasit, 29, who belong to the Uighur group, escaped from the Mae Sot, Tak, north west Thailand detention center cells at 3 am on Wednesday night. 

 

An immigration bigwig was demanding that they be found.

 

They were described as "masters of disguise" after they managed to escape detention in Nong Khai in the north east for a period of 21 days. 

 

They were subsequently transferred to Mae Sot mid-February and since then had been planning another daring dash for freedom.

 

This time they gradually weakened the bars of their cell with soap until they could easily snap them and escape into a cornfield. 

 

They are believed to be trying to get across the border into neighboring Myanmar. 

 

Sanook reported that they currently remain at large.

Will Myanmar require them to do COVID tests and fill out 90 day forms?

Yes, fleeing into a Covid-19 infested area must be considered extremely smart. On the other hand, just let em run. Thanks guys!

Cheap soap is quite acidic and will corrode steel. Over a period of months, smearing the soap on the bars and leaving it on, I can see them weakening considerably.

If they’re Uighurs….they’re way up there on China’s ‘hit list’. So they were probably looking at being handed over to the Chinese and shipped directly to a concentration camp. Good luck with the get-away guys….hope you make it out of Thailand.

Looks like they foiled the master of disguise

There's a fair chance you're wishing jihadis godspeed (not that I condone the approach China's taken to the problem).

thanks for the promo.

[Redline]

Escapes seem pretty common in Thailand, but these guys are not going to their mommy's house.

Too bad they didn't have tourists there, they may have been able to help

No fear Thai Chana will trace them as soon as they go shopping.

Probably lost in translation, the soap being used as a lubricant to saw through the bars....
