snoop1130 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 166 Myanmar detainees in Ranong to be repatriated after failed escape attempt 166 illegal migrant workers from Myanmar will be deported on Thursday, through the border checkpoint in the southern province of Ranong, after several of them tried to break out of their detention facility on Monday. About 400 illegal migrants from Myanmar are detained at the temporary facility at the border after being arrested by Thai officials. It is reported that the stress associated with the cramped conditions at the facility triggered the attempted break out. Thai officials said that the detainees want to return to Myanmar, but were prevented from doing so because the border is closed, due to the growing COVID-19 epidemic in Myanmar. The attempted escape has, however, convinced authorities to expedite their repatriation.

On another note, did an investigation reveal and prosecute the employers who were making use of illegal migrants? Yeah not one I can guess. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This photo was taken inside Bangkok's Immigration Detention Centre in February 2020, prior to the pandemic, but does give some idea of conditions. I hope some kind of "social distancing" is observed!! (Ref: UCA News) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closed border didn't stop them coming in, why should it stop them leaving? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
